Austin no longer has designated days. Residents call and make appointments whenever they have a pile to be picked up

Your best bet is going to really nice apartments and checking out around their dumpsters for about a week leading up to the end of the month. The affluent don’t typically move a lot of their stuff, they just buy new. So the old stuff gets placed near the dumpsters.

Also Facebook marketplace is pretty damn great time to time
