Fort Worth, Texas is the 11th largest city in the U.S. with over 1 million residents and one of the more accessible bulk waste systems among large Texas cities. One bulk pile up to 10 cubic yards is collected at no extra charge during your assigned monthly bulk collection week. Weekly trash, weekly single-stream recycling, and weekly yard waste are all collected on the same weekday, while bulk runs on a separate monthly zone schedule. Fort Worth operates 4 Drop-Off Stations and an Environmental Collection Center for HHW. Most major holidays do not delay collection. This guide covers every disposal option for City of Fort Worth residents.
The Fort Worth rule for toilets, bathtubs, and sinks: Toilets and sinks are generally collected as bulk when they come from your own home; a full remodel's worth is construction material. Confirm with 311 for larger loads.
Program basics: One pile of up to 10 cubic yards (about 8 by 6 by 6 feet) at no extra charge. Larger piles are billed. At the curb by 7 a.m. Monday of your bulk week, separate from yard waste, nothing in plastic bags, clear of cars, poles, and meters.
What the city will not take: Tires, auto parts, and batteries, electronics such as computers and TVs, appliances containing coolant, gasoline, or other chemicals (refrigerators, air conditioners, lawn mowers), construction materials, and anything bagged in plastic. All of those go to a City Drop-Off Station.

Why toilets, bathtubs, and sinks are different from ordinary bulk. Porcelain is the sticking point. A whole toilet or pedestal sink is heavy, awkward, and shatters into sharp pieces, so many bulk crews refuse them intact. Some cities accept porcelain if it is broken into pieces and bagged or boxed; others route it to the transfer station as inert C&D material. Clean porcelain is actually recyclable as aggregate, and a growing number of regions accept it at concrete recyclers.
Three mistakes that get toilets, bathtubs, and sinks left at the curb:
When the city classifies fixtures as C&D and no scrap or donation route fits, paid options are the only legal path.
Self-haul to a transfer station or C&D recycler
$10 to $40Transfer stations accept fixtures as C&D by weight or by load. Clean porcelain is accepted at some concrete and aggregate recyclers for less. Break porcelain into bagged pieces to make it easy to handle.
Line the vehicle. Porcelain shards will cut carpet and tires.

Does Fort Worth pick up toilets, bathtubs, and sinks for free?
Usually, for a single homeowner-removed fixture. Remodel loads go to a Drop-Off Station or dumpster.
How much does paid toilet and tub removal cost in Fort Worth?
Through the LoadUp marketplace, a single toilet or bathtub pickup in Fort Worth starts around $80 to $100 with upfront pricing, and full-truck loads run $300 to $600 depending on volume.

Can I put an old toilet out with bulk trash?
It depends on the city. Some accept toilets and sinks with bulk pickup, some accept only broken porcelain in bags with regular trash, and many classify fixtures as construction debris and exclude them. Check the directory below for your city.
Is porcelain recyclable?
Yes, as inert aggregate. Crushed toilets and sinks become road base and fill. Some transfer stations and concrete recyclers accept clean porcelain for less than general C&D rates, and some water utilities run toilet recycling drop-offs.
How do I get a cast iron tub out of a second-floor bathroom?
Either hire scrappers or movers who handle the weight, or break it. Cover the tub with a heavy blanket, wear eye protection, gloves, and long sleeves, and strike the side near the drain with a sledgehammer; cast iron cracks into pieces that two people can carry. Clean up the enamel chips, which are sharp.
Will a ReStore take a used toilet?
Most will if it is a 1.6 gpf or lower model, uncracked, clean, and complete with tank lid and seat. Some require the WaterSense 1.28 gpf label. Older 3.5 gpf toilets are generally refused.
Is this Fort Worth page maintained?
Yes. Freemoval maintains this page as a public resource alongside the full Fort Worth guide. We update it when programs change rules, fees, or contact methods. Last updated October 2026. If you find outdated information, let us know.
