Commercial Solid Waste

Any commercial business wishing to have solid waste transported within the San Marcos city limits must use a permitted commercial solid waste hauler, including for construction and demolition.

Residential trash and recycling services are provided through Texas Disposal Services. Residents may select their own haul-off services for construction or demolition-related debris from the list of approved solid waste haulers.
