The City collects bagged leaves in sealed bags (up to 50 gallons/50 pounds), tree limbs, furniture, appliances, mattresses, etc. Materials NOT collected include bagged grass clippings, new construction or remodeling materials (lumber, sheetrock, etc.), rocks, bricks, or concrete. Construction or remodeling materials can be picked up as a Cost Plus service, as well as on demand collection of brush/bulk trash outside of normal collection week. Call Sanitation Customer Service at (214) 670-8613 for a free estimate.
The City of Dallas has increased code enforcement for bulk trash violators. Such violators are subject to a citation and a MINIMUM FINE OF $200.00. To report debris in violation of the bulk trash ordinance, call 311 (anonymously, if you desire).
Thank you for your help in keeping our neighborhood clean!

Weekly Garbage Collection
In June 1999, the City of Dallas began a new garbage collection program for our neighborhood involving side-load trucks with automated arms that pick up the city-supplied 90-gallon roll carts. Collections once a week, on TUESDAYS. Small amounts of brush cut to fit inside the cart are acceptable; however, grass, leaves, rocks, concrete, and building materials are not.
If you have street pick up, it is legal to place your roll cart in front ONLY the day of pickup. Earlier placement on the street is against city code and subject to citation. Whether your pickup is on the street or alley, you should place your roll cart on the curb or on the edge of your property beside the alley with the handle facing your home. The opening should face the street or alley. You should allow 3 feet of clearance on each side of the cart to prevent possible property damage during pick up. If you have any questions or if your roll cart is damaged or stolen, call the Department of Sanitation Service at (214) 670-8613 or 311.
Recycling Garbage Collection
A separate City of Dallas collection truck empties blue recycling bins and picks up bagged recyclable items every TUESDAY as outlined on the calendar shown above. Recycling is voluntary, but we urge you to participate. Items are picked up in the same location as garbage collection. Materials to be placed in a plastic bag are aluminum/steel/tin cans, plastic bottles/jugs coded 1, 2, or 3 (usually stamped on the bottom of the container.) Various recyclables (excluding paper) may be placed in the same plastic bag. You can receive a blue bin by calling the City of Dallas at 311. It is not necessary to separate the recycling materials. GLASS IS ACCEPTED.
For more information on the recycling program, call the Recycling Hotline at (214) 670-4475.
