City collection Furniture is named first on the acceptable list for the monthly bulk collection, with tables, sofas, chairs and lawn furniture given as the examples. Smaller pieces such as rugs and sections of carpet are bundled rather than loose. No charge. Furniture is collected inside the monthly bulk allowance as part of the contracted residential service, and no per-item fee is published on the retained pages.
City collection A mattress is not named on the acceptable list or the refused list in the Balch Springs guidelines, so it is an unlisted item rather than a settled one. The furniture line covers tables, sofas, chairs and lawn furniture, and the refused list does not mention bedding either. No mattress fee is published, and no retained list names a mattress, so confirm acceptance and the charge with Frontier Waste Solutions at (469) 444-1555 before the item goes to the curb.
City collection A refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner is collected only when the item is tagged with proof of freon removal by a certified technician. The same group appears on the refused list when the refrigerant is still in the unit. The collection itself carries no published fee, but the freon removal is done by a technician the resident arranges and pays, which the guidelines do not price, so confirm the removal cost and the collection with Frontier at (469) 444-1555.
City collection Trash is collected twice a week from a Frontier supplied cart, and under the amended agreement the contractor only collects trash that is inside its own cart. Recycling runs once a week on the same account. Neither the city nor the contractor publishes a monthly collection rate on the pages retained here, so confirm the charge with the City of Balch Springs utility billing office at (972) 286-4477 or with Frontier Waste Solutions at (469) 444-1555.
The highest first-item price applies once. Every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Balch Springs collects trash twice a week and recycling once a week from contractor supplied carts, and large pieces leave through one combined bulk and brush week each month: eight cubic yards set at the curb by seven on the Monday morning of the designated week. Furniture, appliances and a miscellaneous group that runs from televisions to sports equipment are all named as acceptable, while a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner needs a tag proving a certified technician removed the freon before it will be collected. Remodeling material, concrete, dirt, shingles, batteries, tires, pressurised tanks, oils, paint and chemicals never go in the bulky pile, and household chemicals instead go to the Dallas County centre, which does not include Balch Springs in its free list. Dropcurb hauls residential items from addresses across Balch Springs.
Trash is collected twice a week from a Frontier supplied cart, and under the amended agreement the contractor only collects trash that is inside its own cart. Recycling runs once a week on the same account.
City cost & eligibility
Neither the city nor the contractor publishes a monthly collection rate on the pages retained here, so confirm the charge with the City of Balch Springs utility billing office at (972) 286-4477 or with Frontier Waste Solutions at (469) 444-1555.
When & how
Twice a week for trash and once a week for recycling, with carts at the curb by 7 a.m. on the service day.
Get it ready
Bag the trash inside the cart, keep the cart four feet from cars, mailboxes and trees with the handle facing the house and the lid opening toward the street, and keep hazardous material out: chemicals, corrosive, flammable, explosive, biomedical and toxic materials, paint and oil are all refused in a cart. Put sharps in a thick hard plastic container first, and order an extra cart through the city utility billing office.
One combined bulk and brush collection runs each month in the designated week, with eight cubic yards allowed per month. The size scale in the guideline is one cubic yard for a stove and two cubic yards for a standard truck bed.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The monthly bulk and brush set-out is part of the city's contracted residential collection and neither the city nor the contractor publishes a fee for it on the retained pages. A load beyond the monthly amount or outside the accepted list is quoted separately by Frontier.
When & how
Once a month, starting on the Monday of the designated bulk collection week, with everything at the curb by 7 a.m. that Monday.
Get it ready
Keep every item light enough for one person to load, put smaller pieces in a container or box, and bundle things such as newspapers, old rugs, small carpet sections and small limbs. Yard waste is separate: bag leaves and grass and put them in the cart on the scheduled trash day rather than in the bulk pile.
Furniture is named first on the acceptable list for the monthly bulk collection, with tables, sofas, chairs and lawn furniture given as the examples. Smaller pieces such as rugs and sections of carpet are bundled rather than loose.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Furniture is collected inside the monthly bulk allowance as part of the contracted residential service, and no per-item fee is published on the retained pages.
When & how
Out with the monthly bulk and brush set-out, at the curb by 7 a.m. on the Monday of the designated week.
Get it ready
Keep each piece light enough for one person to load, bundle rugs or small carpet sections rather than leaving them loose, and put small items in a container or box. Nothing that came from a remodeling project goes in the same pile.
A mattress is not named on the acceptable list or the refused list in the Balch Springs guidelines, so it is an unlisted item rather than a settled one. The furniture line covers tables, sofas, chairs and lawn furniture, and the refused list does not mention bedding either.
City cost & eligibility
No mattress fee is published, and no retained list names a mattress, so confirm acceptance and the charge with Frontier Waste Solutions at (469) 444-1555 before the item goes to the curb.
When & how
Confirm the item with Frontier before the monthly bulk set-out, then put it out by 7 a.m. on the Monday of the designated week if it is accepted.
Get it ready
Call Frontier at (469) 444-1555, describe the mattress or box spring, and keep it out of the cart and off the bulk pile until the answer comes back. Keep it dry if it does go out, and keep it light enough for one person to handle under the programme's general rule.
Appliances are the second group on the acceptable list, with washing machines, dryers, stoves and water heaters given as the examples. A unit that holds refrigerant is handled separately because it needs a freon tag.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The named appliance group is collected inside the monthly bulk allowance as part of the contracted residential service, and no per-item fee is published on the retained pages.
When & how
Out with the monthly bulk and brush set-out, at the curb by 7 a.m. on the Monday of the designated week.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and keep it light enough for one person to load, and keep a hot water heater drained before it goes out. A refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner needs proof of freon removal by a certified technician attached to the item before it can be collected.
A refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner is collected only when the item is tagged with proof of freon removal by a certified technician. The same group appears on the refused list when the refrigerant is still in the unit.
City cost & eligibility
The collection itself carries no published fee, but the freon removal is done by a technician the resident arranges and pays, which the guidelines do not price, so confirm the removal cost and the collection with Frontier at (469) 444-1555.
When & how
Out with the monthly bulk set-out only after the freon tag is attached, at the curb by 7 a.m. on the Monday of the designated week.
Get it ready
Arrange the freon removal with a certified technician, attach the proof tag to the unit, empty it and keep it light enough for one person to load. An untagged unit will not be collected, so it should stay off the curb until the tag is on it.
Televisions are named in the miscellaneous group on the acceptable list, alongside large toys, basketball goals, sports equipment, bikes and children's toys. Computers, printers and other devices are not named on either the accepted or the refused list.
City cost & eligibility
A television rides the monthly bulk allowance with no published per-item fee, but no retained list covers computers, printers, monitors or other devices, so confirm acceptance and any charge with Frontier Waste Solutions at (469) 444-1555.
When & how
A television goes out with the monthly bulk and brush set-out at the curb by 7 a.m. on the Monday of the designated week; any other device is confirmed with Frontier first.
Get it ready
Keep electronics out of the trash cart, because the cart rules refuse hazardous and toxic material, and keep them out of the recycling cart. Call Frontier at (469) 444-1555 about a computer, printer or monitor before it goes out, and erase personal data before handover.
Construction material from a remodeling project is refused in the bulk pile, and the guideline sends the resident to Frontier for a roll-off container quote or a special pickup instead. Dirt, bricks, rock, concrete, sand and shingles are refused alongside it.
City cost & eligibility
The guidelines direct a project load to a Frontier estimate for a grapple truck collection or a delivered construction dumpster, and that price is quoted rather than published, so confirm it with Frontier at (469) 444-1555.
When & how
Not on the monthly bulk set-out at all; arrange a quoted container or special pickup instead.
Get it ready
Keep all remodeling debris out of the curbside pile, separate anything reusable from the debris, and expect organic yard material to follow the brush rules: stumps, branches, limbs and logs larger than six inches in diameter or heavier than 35 pounds have to be split down before they can be collected.
Sports equipment is named in the miscellaneous group on the acceptable list for the monthly bulk collection, in the same line as televisions, large toys, basketball goals, bikes and children's toys. A machine still has to follow the general one-person loading rule.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Sports equipment is collected inside the monthly bulk allowance as part of the contracted residential service, and no per-item fee is published on the retained pages.
When & how
Out with the monthly bulk and brush set-out, at the curb by 7 a.m. on the Monday of the designated week.
Get it ready
Break the machine down as far as the maker allows so one person can load it, remove any loose weights, console or battery pack, and keep the parts together in the pile. If the frame will not come down to a manageable weight, call Frontier before the set-out.
Chemicals, paint and oils are refused in the trash cart and on the bulky list, so household chemicals leave through the Dallas County Home Chemical Collection Center instead. Balch Springs is not on the county's free list.
City cost & eligibility
From $100 for minimum waste management fee for residents of a city that is not on the county's free list. The centre is free only for residents of Addison, Dallas, DeSoto, Duncanville, Farmers Branch, Garland, Highland Park, Irving, Mesquite, Richardson, Rowlett, Sachse, Seagoville, Sunnyvale, University Park and unincorporated areas of Dallas County. Balch Springs is not on that list, so its residents must pay a minimum waste management fee.
When & how
By appointment-free drop-off during the centre's open hours: Tuesdays 9 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., Wednesdays and Thursdays 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., and the second and fourth Saturdays 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Get it ready
Keep paint, oils, solvents, chemicals and pressured tanks out of the cart and off the bulk pile, and take proof of address along: a driving licence plus a water or utility bill. Pressurised tanks such as propane, helium, oxygen and acetylene are refused in the city programme.
One bulk week a month, at the curb by Monday morning
Eight cubic yards of bulky waste and brush together are collected once a month in the designated bulk collection week, starting on the Monday. Everything has to be at the curb by 7 a.m. that Monday, and the weekly cart collection is separate from this set-out.
Each bulky item has to be light enough for one person to load into the collection vehicle. Small pieces go in a container or box, and items such as newspapers, rugs, small carpet sections and small limbs are bundled before they go out.
A refrigerant unit needs the freon tag before collection
A refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner is collected only when it is tagged with proof of freon removal by a certified technician. Without the tag the unit is on the refused list, and so are batteries, tires, pressurised tanks, oils, paint, chemicals and construction material from a remodeling project.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.
City of Balch Springs residential collection, operated by Frontier Waste Solutions
Use the monthly bulk and brush week
A household with a sofa, a washer, a television, sports equipment or another named item that will not fit in the cart.
Cost & conditions
No charge. The monthly set-out is part of the city's contracted residential collection and no fee is published for it on the retained pages, while a load beyond the monthly amount or outside the accepted list is quoted separately.
Arrange it
Set the accepted items at the curb by 7 a.m. on the Monday of the designated bulk collection week and keep them light enough for one person to load.
Eight cubic yards a month for bulky waste and brush together, one named group of accepted items, and no construction material, concrete, dirt, shingles, batteries, tires, pressurised tanks, oils, paint, chemicals or untagged refrigerant units.
Ask the contractor for a container or a special pickup
A household with a remodeling load, a move-out cleanout or more bulky material than the monthly allowance covers.
Cost & conditions
The guidelines direct a large load to a Frontier estimate for a grapple truck collection or a delivered construction dumpster, and that price is quoted rather than published, so ask Frontier Waste Solutions at (469) 444-1555 for the figure before the work starts.
Arrange it
Call Frontier, describe the load and the access, and arrange the grapple truck visit or the dumpster delivery on the company's schedule.
A quoted private service rather than a city set-out, placement depends on the site and the container size, and hazardous material still has to go to a registered route rather than into a container.
City of Balch Springs residential collection, operated by Frontier Waste Solutions
Take household chemicals to the Dallas County centre
A household with paint, oils, solvents or other chemicals that the city cart and bulky programme refuse.
Cost & conditions
From $100 for minimum waste management fee for a resident of a city outside the county's free list. The centre is free for the participating cities the county lists, and Balch Springs is not among them, so its residents pay a minimum waste management fee and bring proof of address.
Arrange it
Take the material to 11234 Plano Road in Dallas during the centre's open hours and bring a driving licence plus a water or utility bill as proof of address.
Balch Springs residents are outside the free list, and pressurised tanks, tires, batteries and construction material are not part of a household chemical load.
Self-hauling in Balch Springs is mostly a trip to the curb during the monthly bulk week, because the city route already takes furniture, appliances, televisions, sports equipment and bulk brush as long as the whole load fits eight cubic yards and each item can be lifted by one person. What the city route refuses goes elsewhere: a remodeling load goes to Frontier for a quoted roll-off container or grapple truck collection, and household chemicals, paint and oils go to the Dallas County Home Chemical Collection Center at 11234 Plano Road in Dallas, where Balch Springs residents are outside the free list and pay a minimum waste management fee with proof of address. Batteries, tires, pressurised tanks and untagged refrigerant units are refused on the city side, and no retained page names a mattress, a computer or a printer, so those items are confirmed with Frontier before anything goes out.

The guideline sizes one cubic yard as a stove and two cubic yards as a standard truck bed.Official guidance
Is a mattress accepted in the Balch Springs bulk week?+
It is not named on the accepted list, which covers furniture such as tables, sofas, chairs and lawn furniture along with appliances and a miscellaneous group, and it is not on the refused list either. That makes it an unlisted item, so call Frontier at (469) 444-1555 and confirm it before the Monday morning set-out.Official guidance
Will Balch Springs take a washer or a stove?+
Yes. Washing machines, dryers, stoves and water heaters are named on the acceptable list for the monthly bulk and brush collection, so they go out at the curb by 7 a.m. on the Monday of the designated week and each unit has to be light enough for one person to load. A refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner is different and needs a freon removal tag from a certified technician.Official guidance
Is a television accepted in the Balch Springs bulk week?+
Yes. Televisions are named in the miscellaneous group on the acceptable list for the monthly bulk and brush collection, so a set goes out at the curb by 7 a.m. on the Monday of the designated week and has to be light enough for one person to load. Computers, printers and monitors are not named, so confirm those with Frontier first.Official guidance
