Disabled Services

If there is no one at the residence able to help you, and you are able to provide documentation of disability from your healthcare provider, we may be able to help. Please contact the Cedar Park Utility Billing Office 512-401-5300, option 3.

Blue Recycling Cart

All recycling materials must be contained in the blue recycling cart if you want those materials to be picked up by the recycling truck, including cardboard boxes. Anything outside the blue recycling cart must either be placed inside your green trash cart or if it’s outside of your carts, it will be considered part of your seven-item bulk trash for the second trash truck that picks up bulk trash items.

Remember that 3 feet is the minimum to set apart carts. If it’s helpful to you, you may set apart your carts more than 3 feet from one another. One option might be to set out each cart at either edge of your driveway.

You may purchase an additional trash or recycling cart for an extra $5.50 per month, per cart. To order, call Utility Billing at 512-401-5300.

Items outside of the blue cart:

• Will not be picked up for recycling
• Count toward weekly 7 bulk trash items
• Should be next to the green trash cart

The Following Items Cannot Be Recycled in Cedar Park

Please do not place any of the following items into your blue cart:

• Shredded paper or wet cardboard (it clogs the processing equipment)

• Pizza boxes
• Glass that is not a bottle or jar (drinking glasses, Pyrex)
• Fabric or textiles (clothing, bedding)
