The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Denton runs its own solid waste utility, so collection, the landfill and the home chemical program all belong to the City. Every household gets a green refuse cart and a blue recycling cart, yard waste rides along in a Kraft paper bag or a City yard waste cart, and brush under four cubic yards needs no appointment at all. Bulky items are scheduled rather than set out on demand: up to two items a week are free, extra items carry a per item charge, and television screens, refrigerant appliances and remodeling material are only collected as a scheduled item with a fee. Anything the curb refuses, from liquids and batteries to tires and paint, goes to the home chemical program or the landfill on Mayhill Road. Dropcurb hauls residential items from addresses across Denton.
