Lubbock, Texas (#84 nationally) operates a distinctly different municipal solid waste system from most U.S. cities. There is NO curbside bulk pickup and NO curbside recycling. Garbage runs twice weekly (Monday/Thursday OR Tuesday/Friday) at a $16.25 monthly flat rate. For bulk items, brush, mattresses, large furniture, and appliances, residents must self-haul to one of four Citizen Convenience Stations open Monday to Saturday 8:00 AM-5:30 PM. Service is FREE for Lubbock residents with valid driver’s license showing a Lubbock city address. Recycling is handled via 10 drop-off locations citywide. The city does NOT accept glass or plastics #3-7 (private services like Good Earth Recycling fill that gap). This guide covers every disposal option for City of Lubbock residents.
The Lubbock rule for lawn mowers: Drained mowers go to a Convenience Station; used oil under 5 gallons is accepted there too.
What the city will not take: Construction, remodeling, and demolition materials at the stations, and commercial loads anywhere. Refrigerators and freezers go to the stations (not the landfill) so staff can remove the refrigerant.
How we checked this. The rules on this page were verified in October 2026 against: City of Lubbock Solid Waste: Bulky Items, City of Lubbock Solid Waste: Citizen Convenience Stations and free landfill disposal. Programs change; confirm fees and limits before you go.
Hazardous and regulated components in Lubbock. Lubbock’s HHW disposal is handled through the Citizen Convenience Stations for some materials and through periodic City events for full HHW.
Why lawn mowers are different from ordinary bulk. Fuel and oil are hazardous household waste. A mower set out with gas in the tank will be skipped by most bulk crews and refused by scrap yards, and residual oil leaks onto the truck bed. Draining both takes ten minutes but is the step everyone skips.
Three mistakes that get lawn mowers left at the curb:
Paid pickup is mostly for riding mowers that will not fit a bulk program and have no scrapper nearby.
Self-haul to a scrap yard or transfer station
Free to $20A push mower fits in any trunk with the handle folded. A rider needs a trailer or ramps into a pickup. Scrap yards take both free; transfer stations charge a small bulky fee.
Drain fluids before loading so nothing spills in the vehicle.

How much does paid lawn mower removal cost in Lubbock?
Through the LoadUp marketplace, a single lawn mower pickup in Lubbock starts around $80 to $100 with upfront pricing, and full-truck loads run $300 to $600 depending on volume. For Lubbock households who can’t self-haul to a Citizen Convenience Station, no truck, mobility limitations, items too heavy to transport, or service when crew labor is needed, LoadUp connects you with independent loaders in Tech Terrace, Arnett Benson, Caprock, and other Lubbock neighborhoods for upfront-priced pickup.
Can I put a lawn mower out with bulk trash?
Push mowers, yes, in most cities, provided the gas and oil are drained. Riding mowers usually exceed bulk weight limits and go to a scrap yard or paid pickup. Check your city’s rule in the directory below.
How do I drain the gas and oil?
Run the mower until it stalls or siphon the tank into an approved gas can. Then tip the mower with the spark plug side up and drain the oil through the fill tube into a pan, or remove the drain plug underneath. Take both to an auto parts store or HHW facility.
Will a scrap yard pay for a lawn mower?
A few dollars for a push mower, more for a rider. The aluminum engine block has the most value. Many people find the free pickup more useful than the payout.
What do I do with the battery from a riding mower?
It is a 12V lead-acid battery accepted free at any auto parts store, often with a core credit, and at HHW facilities. Never put it in the trash.
