Copperas Cove Releases 2026 Recycling and Special Collections Schedule

The Copperas Cove Solid Waste Department announced on December 26, 2025 that the city has finalized and published its Recycling and Special Collections Schedule for 2026. The release included a detailed spreadsheet and an area map to help households and businesses identify collection dates and service areas, and the materials were posted to the City of Copperas Cove website at www.copperascovetx.gov/250/Solid-Waste.

Residents in Coryell County and Copperas Cove neighborhoods can consult the online schedule to plan for curbside recycling, special collections, and any seasonal or area specific pickups. The attached area map is intended to clarify which routes apply to particular neighborhoods, reducing confusion and helping residents avoid missed pickups. For those who prefer direct assistance, the Solid Waste Department provided a contact phone number, (254) 547-5245, for specific questions or clarifications.

Timely access to the 2026 schedule affects daily routines and local waste handling practices. With completed planning for the year, households can better coordinate bulk item drop offs, arrange for special collections where available, and schedule around holidays or service changes. Clear routing information also supports neighborhood cleanup efforts and reduces the risk of improperly placed materials that can attract pests or create safety hazards.

The city made the materials available as attachments in the release and emphasized that the website contains the most current version. Residents without reliable internet access may call the Solid Waste Department for assistance and guidance on where to find the map and spreadsheet, or for help understanding which parts of the schedule apply to their address.

As communities across the region adapt services and seek efficiencies in waste management, having an accessible schedule helps Copperas Cove residents plan ahead and take part in responsible disposal practices.
