Dallas says a company must hold a non-exclusive solid waste collection franchise granted by City Council ordinance to legally provide solid waste collection or hauling services in Dallas. Single-family and duplex homes are served by Dallas Sanitation, and the page says private haulers may not provide services to these locations.

Sanitation itself does not provide dumpster or roll-off service.

A March 24, 2025 City of Dallas memo says Council voted on Sept. 18, 2024 to raise the base solid waste franchise fee from 4% to 6% of franchisees' gross receipts, applied through franchise amendments effective April 1, 2025.

The memo excludes operators who haul only their own incidental waste (example: minor construction and demolition services) without routes or collection bins.

The city also runs BOPA mobile events for batteries, oil, paint and antifreeze. Note: the Dallas County HHW page (https://dallascounty.org/departments/consolidated-services/hhw/) lists free use only for Mesquite, Richardson, Rowlett, Sachse, Seagoville, Sunnyvale, University Park and unincorporated county, so cost for Dallas residents was not confirmed.

Dallas collects brush and bulky items monthly at the curb, up to 10 cubic yards, with one 20-cubic-yard exception per calendar year by 311 request. Construction and demolition debris, roofing and shingles, dirt, bricks, concrete, paint and tires are not collected.

Items go behind the curb, not in the alley, street or sidewalk. Oversize or non-compliant set-outs are billed $60 per 5 cubic yards.

Many Dallas homes are served from alleys. City criteria cite Dallas Development Code 51A-8.507(b): alleys need at least 15 feet of right-of-way and 10 feet of pavement, and 14 feet of overhead clearance is required for collection.

Sanitation may move alley pickup to the curb after damage to power lines, poles or gas meters.
