Basic Residential Trash and Recycling Service Guidelines

TRASH COLLECTION DAYS: Check the map below to determine your trash and bulk pick up collection day. A larger version of the map can be downloaded by clicking on the map below or view the Trash and Recycling Collection Street Index for a list of collection days indexed by street address.

CART PLACEMENT AND HANDLING:

Have your cart(s) curbside by 7:00 a.m. on your collection day, and according to Town Ordinance no earlier than 8:00 a.m. the day before and no later than 8:00 a.m. on the day after your collection day.
All trash items must be inside the cart and weigh no more than 175 lbs to ensure collection.
Contents should be bagged and lids closed to avoid littering.
Proper placement of your cart is within two feet of the edge of the street and handles should face your house where the lid opens to the street.
Please check to make sure your cart is not obstructed by parked cars, boats, etc. that could cause a non-collection of trash.
The Postmaster requires that carts be placed far enough away from the mailbox that the carrier can access them without interference.

CART/BIN REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT:

TRASH CARTS: For accessibility purposes carts are generally serviced or delivered on your trash collection day the following week from the time of your request. Call Republic’s Customer Service Department at (800) 333-7301 or the Town of Flower Mound Customer Relations Division at (972) 539-SERV or complete the on line request form.

RECYCLE BINS: Residents can pick up new or replacement recycle bins at the Utility Billing/Customer Service counter located at Town Hall, 2121 Cross Timbers Rd, Monday - Friday between the hours of 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Damaged bins can be placed in your trash cart or curbside on your designated bulk collection day.

BULK COLLECTION:

Bulk items are collected on your regular trash day twice a month using a different truck. No appointment needed. On your designated bulk pick up day you can set out up to 2 cubic yards in volume, or approximately 3' x 3' x 6'. Acceptable items include yard waste, appliances, furniture, and other household items such as water heaters and toilets. Appliances such as refrigerators, freezers, and air conditioners that contain Freon, PCB, or other liquid or gaseous compounds must have that product removed by a certified technician who places a special tag on the item prior to collection. Hazardous or electronic household waste will not be collected. Brush must be cut to 4’ lengths and tied up in bundles of 50 lbs or less and not exceed 2 cubic yards.

SPECIAL PAID BULK COLLECTION: Bulk items that exceed the size and/or volume limitations described above can be collected by calling Republic’s customer service at (800) 333.7301 to schedule an extra pick-up which will be collected within seven days. There is a minimum charge of $15.96 for the first 10 minutes and $1.60 per minute thereafter for this service and payment is made directly with Republic in advance.

RECYCLING: Recycling bin(s) need to be at the curb by 7:00 a.m. and are picked up by a different truck on your regular trash collection day. All items are separated at the Republic recycling facility eliminating the need to sort the recyclable materials.
Place your recycling bin two feet away from your cart so it can be easily seen from the street.
Kitchen waste, yard waste, car tires, and batteries (all types) are NOT ACCEPTABLE for recycling.

Recycle Texas Online: With Recycle Texas Online, you can find a recycler of the material you are looking to recycle.

Local recycling resources can be found for some household items, clothing, automotive parts, and construction materials at: www.kfmb.org/home/recycle_options
