To report a missed pick up please call Republic Services. The City contracts with Republic Services to handle these services, but does not have direct contact with drivers. Republic Services can be reached at 972.316.0789.
The only holidays that affect pickup are Thanksgiving, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day. Service is pushed back one day i.e. If Christmas falls on a Monday, then houses normally serviced Monday are serviced Tuesday, Tuesday houses are serviced Wednesday, etc.
Broken Cart
If your cart is damaged by normal wear and tear you can have it replaced at no charge by contacting Republic Services directly at 972.316.0789.
Stolen / Missing Cart
Please check with your immediate neighbors to see if they have an extra cart. If your cart does not turn up, you can request a replacement from the City by calling 972.219.3699. There is a $65 charge for replacement carts unless you go online to complete a police report for theft. Once you get the online Police Report number fill out and return the “Missing/Stolen Cart Form” so we can process your request. You must have the police report number to complete this form.
Additional Service
Additional trash or recycling carts are available to residents who consistently have more trash or recycling than will fit in their existing cart. There is a charge of $5.26 added to the monthly water bill to cover the cart cost, maintenance, and collection costs, so residents do need to complete a request form agreeing to pay that cost before an additional cart will be delivered.
Remove Cart
If you have more than one trash or one recycling cart, but only want to have one of each, you can fill out the remove cart form.
Senior Discount
Republic Services does offer a 20% senior discount rate for those that qualify. Requirements and application.
