Dallas Holiday Trash Pickup Schedule and Changes

Dallas residents can expect some changes to their holiday trash pickup schedule this year. The City of Dallas will be adjusting its collection days for Christmas and New Year's Day.

Residents can find their new collection schedule by visiting the City of Dallas's website or by calling 311. The website also has a collection calendar that can be filtered by address.

The city will be collecting trash on Christmas Day and New Year's Day, but residents are asked to put their trash out on the same day as their regular collection day, not on the day after the holiday.

Only Friday customers will be impacted by the holiday service schedule change, placing their carts out on Wednesday, Dec. 23 and Wednesday, Dec. 30 instead of their usual Friday collection days.

No garbage, recycling or brush/bulk trash collections will take place on Christmas Day, Dec. 25 or New Year's Day, Jan. 1. Transfer Stations, McCommas Bluff Landfill and Sanitation Administrative Offices will be closed on Christmas and New Year's.

All garbage and recycle collections during the weeks of December 25 and January 1 will be delayed by one day. If your trash usually gets picked up on Monday, it'll come on Tuesday instead.

McCommas Bluff Landfill and the city’s transfer stations will also be closed on Monday, December 25, and Monday, January 1.

The holiday season is upon us, and with it comes some changes to our trash pickup schedule. No garbage or recycling collections will take place on Christmas Day, December 25 or New Year's Day, January 1.

If you're a resident who usually has trash pickup on Friday, you'll need to roll out your carts two days early. This means placing your carts out on Wednesday, December 23 and Wednesday, December 30 instead of your usual Friday collection days.

Sanitation Services is working hard to ensure that the public is aware of these changes, as the last time this schedule was in place during a holiday was in 2009. This is to prevent carts from being left on the curb for an extended period of time.

McCommas Bluff Landfill and the city's transfer stations will also be closed on Christmas and New Year's, so be sure to plan accordingly. You can drop off your Christmas trees at Home Depot, but be sure to remove all tinsel, ornaments, lights, nails, and stand first.

Garbage and recycling collections will be delayed by one day during the weeks of December 25 and January 1. If your trash usually gets picked up on Monday, it'll come on Tuesday instead, and so on.
