Trash Collection

Residential and Commercial trash pickup occurs two times per week on Tuesdays and Fridays.  

  • All trash must be bagged and placed inside the cart. This helps keep the city clean and litter-free by preventing trash from blowing around before and during service. Carts must be placed at the curb no later than 7 a.m. on your service day or the night before. 
  • Additional trash carts will be available for order after October 1, 2022, for an additional monthly charge. Call Republic Services at 903.986.5324 for more information.
  • Carts must be at least 3' away (for safety) from any objects, including.mailboxes, parked cars, meters, fire hydrants, utility poles and other carts. Please note that personal containers may not be used. Republic Servicesis not responsible for damage to personal trash containers.
  • Broken and/or damaged carts will be replaced or repaired by Republic Services. Personal carts will not.

Stolen carts will be replaced by Republic Services after the resident files a police report.

  • Carts are numbered and are the property of Republic Services and must remain at the designated address.
  • Assistance for the disabled: Assistance will be provided to those households that have no able-bodied persons to transport the cart to the curb and back.
