Alamo Heights is its own city, not a San Antonio neighborhood, and it runs its own services. That shows up in small ways that matter on a cleaning day, from which side of Broadway you live on to what you can leave at the curb.

Here is what TotalCare Cleaning will plan for when it comes to Alamo Heights, and why homes here need a slightly different approach from the newer subdivisions farther north.

A small city that grew from the 1890s

The City of Alamo Heights says building began there in the 1890s, well before it became a municipality on June 20, 1922. Growth happened over many decades, so the city has a mix of architectural styles rather than one builder's plan. The whole city covers just 2.1 square miles.

The Handbook of Texas places Alamo Heights off U.S. Highway 281, about five miles northeast of the center of San Antonio. It sits close to the city's older neighborhoods, and its housing has more in common with them than with the newest subdivisions at the edge of the metro.

What Alamo Heights homes need from a cleaning

A city built up over a century means a wide range of houses, often on a single street, and each one gets cleaned for what it is. Original wood floors and old bathroom tile get mild products and soft pads, and any new product is tested on a hidden spot first. Cleaners never sand, scrape or strip old paint or finishes.

Water is the other constant. The San Antonio area runs hard, with SAWS reporting 15 to 20 grains per gallon in the water it provides, and older fixtures in Alamo Heights bathrooms often carry years of that scale. Patient descaling protects old enamel and chrome better than strong acids. The older home guide covers these houses in more depth.

Trash days, Broadway and the visit schedule

Alamo Heights collects trash twice a week, and the days depend on Broadway. East of Broadway, pickup is Monday and Thursday. West of Broadway, it is Tuesday and Friday. Recycling goes out on Wednesday for everyone.

That makes it easy to time a visit. A cleaning the day before trash pickup means the bagged kitchen and bathroom trash goes straight out with the regular collection rather than sitting in a full bin for days. Cleaners bag household trash for your own bins and leave the curb to you.

Large items need their own plan

The City of Alamo Heights does not collect furniture, mattresses, refrigerators, stoves or water heaters with regular trash. Before a move, a remodel or a big clean-out, arrange for those items separately. Cleaners do not move or carry away furniture or appliances, and an empty, clear room cleans far better than one stacked with things waiting to go.

For a move in or out of an Alamo Heights home, the Moving Clean covers everything in a deep clean plus inside the oven, refrigerator and cabinets. See the move-out guide for the Texas deposit rules.

Frequently Asked Questions

Alamo Heights Cleaning Questions,
Answered Directly

No. Alamo Heights became its own municipality on June 20, 1922, and it covers 2.1 square miles about five miles northeast of downtown San Antonio. It is part of the San Antonio area that TotalCare Cleaning will service.
It depends on which side of Broadway you live on. East of Broadway, trash goes out Monday and Thursday; west of Broadway, Tuesday and Friday. Recycling is Wednesday. Scheduling a cleaning the day before pickup keeps bagged trash from sitting around.
No. The City of Alamo Heights does not collect furniture, mattresses, refrigerators, stoves or water heaters with regular trash, so they need separate arrangements. Cleaners do not haul large items either, so clear them before a move-out clean.
Yes. Building in Alamo Heights began in the 1890s, so many homes have original floors, old tile and decades of paint. Those get mild products, soft pads and a spot test before anything new, with no sanding or scraping.
Water across the San Antonio area is very hard. SAWS reports 15 to 20 grains per gallon in the water it provides, and older fixtures collect years of that buildup. A One-Time Deep Clean details faucets and treats shower glass for hard water spots.
