Boerne’s combined trash and recycling schedule: a guide for new residents

Boerne moved residential garbage and recycling pickups to the same day beginning January 5, 2026. For people who have moved during the year, the city’s collection map is the best starting point for confirming the correct day.

The January notice says most customers kept their garbage day and moved recycling to match. Herff Ranch shifted both collections to Thursday.

The city asks residents to leave at least three feet between carts and between carts and obstacles, with wheels facing the house. Carts should be placed out the night before collection.

Cardboard should be flattened and placed inside the recycling cart; the notice says material left outside carts will not be collected. Bulk and brush collection follows a separate monthly schedule.

Address-specific questions can go to Boerne Utilities Customer Care at 830-249-9511, option 1. Use the linked collection map and any current holiday notices rather than assuming a nearby street has the same pickup day.
