Trash and Recycle Collection

Collection Services

The City of Rowlett provides weekly trash and recycling collection service to residential customers and customized collection services for business customers.

Bulky Trash Definitions

In addition, weekly brush and bulky item collection is available with no call-in required to our residential customers and will be picked up the same day as your trash.  Place the items in the curb area between the street and sidewalk in the front of your home.

REMINDER - All trash bags, including yard waste, are to be placed where your carts are serviced and must weigh no more than 40 LBS.  Please do not place them at the curb for bulk pickup.
