Waste Collections has tweaked its new 5-day delivery schedule that began in May. Due to the high trash volume on its Thursday run, Waste Connections has moved several areas to its Friday collection.
Questions can be directed to Waste Connections at 972-289-6714.
The only holidays that may affect the collection for City of Heath customers if they fall upon collection days are:
Trash and recycling will be picked up on the normal schedule on all other holidays including Martin Luther King Day; President’s Day; Memorial Day; Juneteenth; Independence Day; Labor Day; Columbus Day; and Veterans Day.
The amount of bulky waste hauled away free of charge remains at three cubic yards. Anything over three cubic yards will continue to be billed at $12.26 per yard. Bulky waste should be placed curbside by 7:00 a.m. on Monday for collection each week.
Weekly “front porch pickup” of household hazardous wastes items is available to utility customers through HHW Solutions.
Items collected include paint, motor oil, batteries, insecticides, fertilizers, pool chemicals and other household materials. These items are not accepted by regular trash collection services.
Customers can also set out up to 50 pounds of electronic items to be recycled. You do not have to be home to have items collected.
The Service Provider will collect Household Hazardous Waste from Single-Family Residential Units once per week. Items will be collected from the front porch of the home or an area immediately adjacent to the home, i.e.: breezeway, garage door, and driveway.
Collection will occur after 7:00 A.M. on Wednesday of each week throughout the year, unless service is affected by a Holiday, then the service provider will designate an alternate day of that week.
The following days are Holidays:
BY 8 P.M. MONDAY
Call 972-440-2040 or go online to HHWSolutions.com to request a pickup. There will be a City of Heath tab on the website.
BY 7 A.M. WEDNESDAY
Place items to be collected on your front porch. If you have a gated property, please place your items at the curb.
