Recycling in Denton, Texas

The City of Denton runs its own trash and recycling collection, and every household gets a blue recycling cart. Bulky items, extra trash bags, and even household chemicals get picked up at the curb by request through Customer Service at (940) 349-8700. Paint, batteries, and bulbs that the carts refuse go to the Home Chemical Collection at 1527 Mayhill Rd, Building 300, open to city residents Monday through Saturday. Government-issued ID required for regulated metals including copper and catalytic converters.

Frequently Asked Questions

What goes in the blue recycling cart in Denton TX?

Plastic bottles, tubs, and jugs, glass bottles and jars with lids removed, and the items printed on the sticker on your blue cart go in. Plastic bags, wrap, film, and Styrofoam stay out. Keep items empty, clean, dry, and loose with the lid closed, because bags jam the sorting machinery. Denton tags a contaminated cart and skips it until the following week.

Where do I take old paint and batteries in Denton?

Bring them to the City of Denton Home Chemical Collection at 1527 Mayhill Rd, Building 300, Monday through Saturday, 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM. The site takes unused chemicals, expired batteries, and burned-out bulbs from city residents only. You can also schedule a curbside hazardous waste pickup through the Solid Waste Self-Service form or at (940) 349-8700.

How do I get rid of a couch or other bulky items in Denton?

Call Customer Service at (940) 349-8700 at least one business day before your collection day, or book on the Self-Service form before 3:00 PM one business day ahead. Residents get 2 bulky items per week at no charge, and each additional item costs $5. Crews still take extra material left at the curb but bill it at the remodeling rate of $25 per cubic yard.

What does the Denton landfill refuse?

The Denton landfill refuses all liquids including paint, batteries, tires, and hazardous, biohazardous, and radioactive waste. Every driver shows a driver's license or state ID, and every load needs a tarp or tie-down. Unsecured loads cost $25 on the first offense and $30 after that. Enter by 3:45 PM, because vehicles arriving later pay a $120 after-closing fee up front.

Do I pay extra for trash bags left outside my cart in Denton?

Yes. Crews no longer pick up loose bags beside the cart as bulky items. Denton charges $5 per bag left beside the trash cart, limited to 13-gallon kitchen bags and 5 bags per week. The charge posts to your utility bill automatically, so you skip scheduling when you set out fewer than 5 bags.
