Trash Disposal in Guadalupe County

Guadalupe County is committed to providing a healthy and safe environment for residents, and we ask for your help in keeping our communities clean and free of litter. Community clean-up days may be provided up to four times a year to allow residents to properly dispose of waste and bulky items

County Cleanup Days

The Road & Bridge Department determines dates and locations of clean-up events for residents of Guadalupe County. Once the logistics and guidelines are prepared, we will post the information on the County website and work with area community calendars to get the information out to residents.

The 2026 dates are scheduled for May 19 and Oct. 31.
