Recycling
In 2008, Highland Village contracted with Waste Management for a five year contract to provide solid waste, brush pickup and recycling services to the City. Pickup schedules will not change from your current day for service.
Residents have the option of using the blue recycling carts instead of the previous used recycling blue bags. The City's solid waste provider, Waste Management has delivered 65 gallon recycling carts to all current residences receiving solid waste service. A list of allowable recycling items is molded into the lid of the new cart to provide a quick reference of allowable recycling items. Residents are requested to please place your cart at the curb with the handle facing the curb.
Any resident not desiring a cart may continue to use the blue bag method of recycling by notifying the City at 972-899-5091 to pick up their recycling cart. The purchase of blue bags will be at the residents' expense.
Any questions about this program can be addressed by calling 972-899-5091.
Randy the Recycler can show you how the new recycling program works.
Yard Waste
- We collect your yard waste separately so it can be composted.
- Bundle your brush, grass, yard trimmings, and leaves and place in either “Kraft” bags or in containers.
- DO NOT use plastic bags for yard waste, as they are not biodegradable.
- Brush and limbs must be bundled in lengths less than 4’ and the weight must be less than 40 lbs.
- Yard Waste Collection is every Monday.
For pickup of bulk items, such as a hot water heater, call Waste Management at 972-315-5400 24 hours in advance of your regular trash/recycle pickup day.
Highland Village is an environmentally conscious community!
If you have any questions, please call the Waste Management Hot Line at 972-315-5400.
