San Marcos lives and breathes Texas State University, and every summer the student-rental turnover produces its own wave of cleanup - furniture, mattresses and the accumulation a year of tenants leaves behind, all on a tight between-leases schedule.
A college-town rhythm
With tens of thousands of students, San Marcos has a huge rental market, and the calendar is relentless: leases turn over in a narrow window in summer, and there's always another tenant coming. The cleanup can't sit for weeks.
Landlords, property managers and the students themselves all face the same crunch - clear the old, refresh the unit, and have it ready before the next move-in.
What a turnover produces
A student move-out leaves sofas, mattresses, desks, worn furniture and bags of odds and ends. A refresh between tenants adds old flooring, blinds and fixtures. It's mostly bulky, light material with some heavier debris.
None of it fits the county recycling centers - they won't take furniture, mattresses or large items - so it has to go to a landfill, which is exactly where a roll-off takes it.
Bulky contents versus dense debris
Most turnover material is bulky and light - furniture and furnishings - so a 20 or 30 yard usually gives plenty of room. If the job includes a real renovation with flooring and drywall, we may size up or add a small box for the heavier debris.
Mattresses and upholstered furniture take space fast, so for a multi-unit property don't underestimate the volume - we'll help you judge it.
Where the material goes
Furniture, mattresses and general renovation debris go covered to a permitted Type IV landfill. Working appliances and good furniture are often better donated locally, and we're glad to point you there. Freon appliances need refrigerant recovered first.
That routing keeps a turnover clean and compliant without you making a study of the county's rules.
Sizing a move-out cleanout
Tell us whether it's a single unit or a whole property and roughly the volume, and we'll size it and set a rental window that fits the between-leases gap.
For property managers running several units, we can schedule around the turnover so containers are there for the rush and gone before the next tenants arrive.

Can I put furniture and mattresses in a dumpster?
Yes - the county recycling centers won't take them, so a roll-off hauled to a Type IV landfill is the route. A 20 or 30 yard usually handles a unit turnover; we'll size it to the job.
How fast can you turn a rental cleanout around?
Usually next day, often same day, across San Marcos - and for managers with several units we schedule around the summer turnover rush.
What about appliances from a rental?
Most go in the container, but Freon units - fridges, freezers, AC - need refrigerant recovered first. Working appliances are often better donated locally, and we'll point you there.
What size for a student-rental turnover?
A 20 or 30 yard for furniture and furnishings; size up or add a small heavy box if it's a real renovation with flooring and drywall. Describe the job and we'll get it right.
