McKinney gives each single-family house one gray trash cart and one blue recycling cart, collected once a week, and those are the only carts the truck will service. Trash is bagged, tied, and inside the gray cart with the lid closed. The serial number faces the street. Carts can go out at 6 p.m. the evening before and have to be ready by 7 a.m. Bulky items are by appointment, up to 12 times a year at no extra cost. A rental property is treated as commercial, so a landlord cannot book that free bulky pickup. Texas has no bottle deposit. Government-issued ID required for regulated metals including copper and catalytic converters.
Gray trash cart out by 7 a.m., and no earlier than 6 p.m. the day before. Three feet from other carts, bulky piles, yard waste, mailboxes, cars, meters, poles, and fences. The serial number faces the street and the handle faces the house. Trash is bagged and tied, lid closed. Anything outside the cart is left. An overloaded cart is left. After a storm, you put the cart back and put the contents back in before the truck comes.
An extra collection is a fee through Frontier Waste Solutions, (469) 444-1555 or fw.mckinney@gflenv.com. An additional city cart is a separate order form, and that fee is extra too.
Up to 12 times a calendar year at no added cost, by appointment, requested before noon on the business day before collection. The pile has to fit 3.5 feet tall by 3 feet deep by 9 feet long, or two large household pieces, such as a sofa and a loveseat. Refrigerators, freezers, and air conditioners have to be Freon-free. Small loose items go in a cardboard box labeled Bulky. Extra trash bags are not part of bulky service. A fee applies after the 12th pickup, and for an excessive pile. Landlords cannot book this for a rental. The material goes to the landfill, so the city suggests donating anything still usable.
Ammunition, automotive parts, bagged yard waste, brush, limbs, dead animals, household hazardous waste, construction and remodeling debris, pallets, tires, and trash bags.
