The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Little Elm contracts Community Waste Disposal for weekly trash and recycling and for a bulk trash service that runs on set weeks rather than by appointment. Every household is on either a first and third week or a second and fourth week schedule, and on the scheduled bulk day it can put out up to six cubic yards of bulky waste in the grassy strip between the sidewalk and the kerb, with mattresses, kitchen appliances, washers, dryers, drained water heaters and refrigerated units all named on the accepted list. A refrigerated unit needs the refrigerant removed by a professional and a label on the appliance saying so. Tires, batteries, car parts, household chemicals and construction or remodeling debris are refused, and none of that goes out with the carts on an ordinary week. For the refused material the town runs its own routes: a Courtesy Bulk Drop Site on Eldorado Parkway that takes furniture, mattresses, metal, brush and sealed cooking oil from residents with an active account, and bi-annual Clean and Green collection days where Freon is removed on site and household hazardous waste, appliances, electronics and tires with the rims off are taken free from residents.
Furniture is named as bulk trash, collected on the household's scheduled bulk week within a six cubic yard limit and placed in the grassy strip in front of the home.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Town of Little Elm residential accounts on the Community Waste Disposal service, within the six cubic yards of bulky waste allowed at each scheduled bulk pickup; the same pieces are also accepted at the Courtesy Drop Site by residents with an active water or trash account.
When & how
Put the furniture in the grassy area between the sidewalk and the kerb in front of the home on the regular trash and recycling day of the household's bulk week, which is either the first and third week or the second and fourth week of the month, with everything out by 7 a.m.
Get it ready
Keep the pile inside six cubic yards, use the front kerb strip even if the regular carts are collected from the alley, and keep the refused material out: household hazardous waste, car parts, tires, batteries, loose debris and construction or remodeling debris are not collected on the bulk route. Loose material has to be boxed in a container no larger than 2 feet by 2 feet by 4 feet and under 50 pounds.
Mattresses and box springs are the first item on the town's acceptable bulk list and are also accepted at the Courtesy Drop Site.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Town of Little Elm residential accounts, within the six cubic yard bulk allowance on the scheduled bulk week, or residents with an active water or trash account bringing identification and the most recent utility bill to the Courtesy Drop Site.
When & how
Set the mattress in the grassy strip between the sidewalk and the kerb on the bulk week collection day by 7 a.m., or take it to the Courtesy Drop Site at 1690 E. Eldorado Parkway on a Friday evening, Saturday or Sunday.
Get it ready
Keep the bedding dry and liftable, take the frame and headboard off because they are separate pieces, and keep it clear of mailboxes, cars, fences, gas meters and drainage ditches so the crew can reach it.
Kitchen appliances, washers, dryers and drained water heaters are accepted as bulk trash, and a refrigerator or freezer is taken only with the refrigerant professionally removed and a label on the unit.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Town of Little Elm residential accounts within the six cubic yard bulk allowance, with refrigerated units accepted only when the refrigerant has been removed by a professional and the appliance carries a label indicating the removal; the Clean and Green events also take refrigerators and freezers with Freon removed by a contractor on site, free to residents.
When & how
Arrange the refrigerant removal and label first, then set the unit out on the bulk week collection day by 7 a.m., or take a refrigerator or freezer to the next Clean and Green event where Freon is removed on site.
Get it ready
Drain a water heater before it goes out, empty and clean every unit, secure or remove the doors, and keep the refrigerant label visible on a refrigerator or freezer because the bulk route will not take an unlabelled refrigerated unit.
Televisions are named among the used electronics collected at the town's Clean and Green events, which are free to Little Elm residents.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free to Little Elm residents at the bi-annual Clean and Green collection events, where residents bring a current water bill and photo identification to enter.
When & how
Take the set to the next Clean and Green event at the Public Works Service Center, 1600 Mark Tree Lane near the Animal Shelter, which in 2026 ran on Saturday, September 26 from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Get it ready
Keep the screen whole and dry and wipe anything that stores data. Do not put a television in the trash or recycling cart, and bring the current water bill and photo identification because they are checked at the entry.
Computers, laptops, monitors, printers and game consoles are collected at the Clean and Green events along with televisions.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free to Little Elm residents at the bi-annual Clean and Green events; bring a current water bill and photo identification.
When & how
Take the devices to the next Clean and Green event at the Public Works Service Center, 1600 Mark Tree Lane, which in 2026 ran on Saturday, September 26 from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m., and check the town page for the following date.
Get it ready
Wipe stored data from computers, phones and drives, keep power supplies and cables with each device, and keep electronics out of the carts, because electronics are not part of the weekly collection and the refused bulk list covers batteries and hazardous material.
Construction and remodeling debris is refused on the bulk route and at the Courtesy Drop Site, and the town sends project loads to the hauler for an estimate.
City cost & eligibility
The town does not take construction material. Its bulk list puts commercial and residential construction and remodeling debris on the unacceptable side and tells residents to call Community Waste Disposal at 972-392-9300 option 2 for an estimate, and the Courtesy Drop Site refuses contractor debris including whole fences, roofing shingles and bricks. Contractors are responsible for their own project material.
When & how
Do not set construction material out on the bulk week and do not take it to the Courtesy Drop Site. Call the hauler at 972-392-9300 option 2 for an estimate, or have the contractor remove the material it produced.
Get it ready
Separate anything eligible from the project load: fence panels up to 4 feet by 6 feet and bundled limbs can go out with bulk, while shingles, bricks, fencing being replaced and general remodeling debris cannot, and the drop site staff will not help unload anything.
No Little Elm list names exercise equipment, so a treadmill or weight machine has to be confirmed before it goes to the kerb or the drop site.
City cost & eligibility
Exercise equipment appears on none of the town's accepted lists and no fee is published, so confirm with the hauler at 972.392.9300 option 2 whether the machine fits the six cubic yard bulk allowance, and confirm whether the Courtesy Drop Site will take it.
When & how
Call the hauler at 972.392.9300 option 2, or the Public Works Department at 972-377-5556, before the machine goes out, then use the bulk week or the Courtesy Drop Site only if the item is confirmed as accepted.
Get it ready
Strip the console and any loose weights so the frame is as light as possible, fold the deck where the manufacturer allows it, and keep the machine out of the carts and clear of the kerb strip until the route is confirmed.
Bulk trash runs twice a month on a set week schedule with a six cubic yard limit per pickup, and the Courtesy Drop Site covers the weeks in between.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Town of Little Elm residential accounts on the Community Waste Disposal service, for up to six cubic yards of bulky waste at each scheduled bulk pickup, with the Courtesy Drop Site available to residents holding an active water or trash account.
When & how
Put the load in the grassy strip between the sidewalk and the kerb on the regular collection day of the household's bulk week, either the first and third or the second and fourth week of the month, out by 7 a.m. and gone by 7 p.m. the same day, or use the Courtesy Drop Site on a Friday evening, Saturday or Sunday.
Get it ready
Keep the load inside six cubic yards, box loose debris in containers no larger than 2 feet by 2 feet by 4 feet and under 50 pounds, bundle tree limbs at 4 feet by 2 feet under 50 pounds, cut carpet into 4 foot lengths, bag grass and leaves, and label toys and yard tools as trash. Hazardous waste, tires, batteries, car parts and construction debris are refused, so those wait for a Clean and Green event or go to the hauler for an estimate.
Weekly carts go out by seven and stay clear of obstacles
Trash and recycling are each collected once a week by Community Waste Disposal. Trash has to be bagged, both carts go to the kerb by 7 a.m. and are emptied between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. on the service day, lids have to be closed, and carts must sit at least three feet from obstacles such as mailboxes, cars, fences, gas meters and drainage ditches, with the recycling cart three feet from the trash can as well. Overloaded carts or carts blocked by cars are not serviced, and the town lists the common red tag causes as a cart too close to a fixed object, a lid not fully closed, a cart out of reach, hazardous waste and a bulk item left out that was too large for the cart.
Bulk trash is collected on the household's regularly scheduled trash and recycling day during its bulk week, and every address is on either a first and third week or a second and fourth week schedule. The limit is six cubic yards per pickup, everything goes in the grassy area between the sidewalk and the kerb in front of the home even when the regular carts are collected from the alley, and the crew removes it by 7 p.m. on the collection day. There is no need to schedule a pickup: the pile simply has to be out by 7 a.m. on the right day, and the town warns that items left at the kerb in the wrong week can attract a red tag.
Chemicals, tires and contractor debris need another route
The bulk route refuses household hazardous waste including paint, motor oil, pool chemicals, fuel, poisons, fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, fluorescent lamps and bulbs, lamp ballasts, smoke detectors, medical waste and some cleaning chemicals, along with tires, batteries, car parts and loose debris. Construction and remodeling debris is refused too, with the town directing residents to Community Waste Disposal for an estimate. Two town routes cover part of the gap: the Courtesy Drop Site at 1690 E. Eldorado Parkway takes furniture, mattresses, metal, brush and limbs, sealed cooking oil, cardboard and general waste from residents with an active account, but refuses household hazardous waste and contractor debris, and the bi-annual Clean and Green events take household hazardous waste, refrigerators and freezers with Freon removed on site, kitchen appliances, washers and dryers, used electronics and tires with the rims removed, free to residents who bring a water bill and photo identification.
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.
A Little Elm household with furniture, a mattress, an appliance or other residential items too large for the cart that can wait for its bulk week.
Cost & conditions

Arrange it
Check whether the address is on the first and third week or the second and fourth week schedule, then put the load in the grassy strip between the sidewalk and the kerb by 7 a.m. on the regular collection day of that week.
Six cubic yards per pickup, residential items only, and no household hazardous waste, tires, batteries, car parts, loose debris or construction and remodeling material. Everything has to be at the kerb in the correct week, and the crew works from the front kerb strip even when the carts come from the alley.
A Little Elm resident with furniture, mattresses, metal, brush and limbs, sealed cooking oil, cardboard or general waste between bulk weeks.
Cost & conditions
The town publishes the site, its hours and its residency requirements but no fee, so confirm with the Public Works Department at 972-377-5556 whether a charge applies before loading the vehicle.
Arrange it
Bring a photo identification with proof of address and the most recent Little Elm utility bill to 1690 E. Eldorado Parkway, which is at the rear entrance of the Public Works Service Center, during the regular hours of Friday 4 to 8 p.m., Saturday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. or Sunday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Residents with an active water or trash account only, limited space with occasional early closure when the site fills, no household hazardous waste, and no contractor debris such as whole fences being replaced, roofing shingles, bricks or other construction material. Staff will not help load or unload, and the site opens at noon during Clean and Green weekends.
A Little Elm household holding household hazardous waste, an appliance, electronics, a refrigerator or freezer, or tires that the weekly and bulky routes refuse.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Free to Little Elm residents, who bring a current water bill and photo identification to enter the drop site for the bi-annual Clean and Green collection events.
Arrange it
Watch the town page for the next event date and take the material to the Public Works Service Center, 1600 Mark Tree Lane near the Animal Shelter. The September 2026 event ran on Saturday the 26th from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m., with the Courtesy Drop Site opening at noon afterwards for metal, tree branches and bulk and brush items.
Two events a year on announced dates rather than a year round service. Tires have to have the rims removed, refrigerators and freezers have their Freon removed by a contractor on site, and residents must show the current water bill and photo identification at the entrance.
Get a hauler estimate for remodel or construction debris
A household with commercial or residential construction and remodeling debris, which the town refuses on the bulk route and at the drop site.
Cost & conditions
The town tells residents to call Community Waste Disposal at 972-392-9300 option 2 for an estimate and publishes no rate for the load, so the price comes from the hauler.
Arrange it
Call Community Waste Disposal at 972-392-9300 option 2, describe the material and the volume, and accept the estimate before the load is moved, or have the contractor that produced the debris remove it.
Contractors are responsible for their own project material, the Courtesy Drop Site accepts no contractor debris at all, and the bulk route refuses construction and remodeling material, so this is a paid arrangement rather than a town collection.
A Little Elm household that needs a first cart, a replacement for a missing or stolen cart, or an additional bin.
Cost & conditions
$92.7 per additional bin, with a $75 charge for replacing a missing or stolen cart. Little Elm utility customers ordering through the Utility Billing Department at 214-975-0480, which issues a 95 gallon gray trash cart and a 95 gallon blue recycling cart.
Arrange it
Call Utility Billing at 214-975-0480 to order or replace a cart, and report missed collections or bulk problems to Community Waste Disposal at 972.392.9300 option 2.
The standard carts are 95 gallon trash and recycling containers, replacement and additional carts carry the published charges, and carts still have to be out by 7 a.m. with the lid closed and three feet clear of obstacles or they are not serviced.

Eldorado Parkway, which is open Friday afternoons, Saturdays and Sundays to residents with an active account, photo identification and the most recent utility bill.Official guidance
