For the first time, the City of Fredericksburg hosted a Bulk Trash & Large Item Pick‑Up. Over the course of the program, crews collected 98.7 tons (197,400 lbs!) of material. 🗑️

That total included 77.82 tons of solid waste and 20.88 tons of metal, keeping bulky items out of neighborhoods and headed for proper disposal. ♻️

Still have items to get rid of? City residents can stop by City Hall at 2818 E. U.S. Hwy 290 to pick up one free landfill voucher.

We look forward to offering this service to our residents again next spring!
