New Trash and Recycle Program

Each home will have pick-up once per week for both their trash and recycling. There will no longer be twice-per-week trash pick-up, and recycling will now be collected once per week instead of every other week. Collection for both trash and recycling will be on Tuesday of each week for those areas of NPNA north of Northaven Road. Areas south of Northaven Road will be collected on Mondays. If a holiday falls on the scheduled collection day, the make-up day will be on Wednesday. Every home should have received a letter from the city with an enclosure that lists pick-up days for 2009. Collection will be by different trucks for trash bins and recycle bins. Home-owners should place their trash and recycle bins so that they are 2-1/2 feet apart to accommodate the collection arm of the trash truck.

Brush and Bulky Trash Collection for NPNA neighborhood:

Trash may be placed curbside no earlier than 7:00 AM on Thursday before the fourth Monday of each month. Once-a-month collection from the front curb includes large limbs, shrubbery, bagged leaves (in sealed bags with a maximum 50 gallon capacity), furniture, appliances, mattresses and box springs. Please place your items out on the front curb for collection no later than 7:00 AM the Monday of your pick-up week

Do not put out for brush collection bagged grass clippings, new construction or remodeling materials such as lumber or roofing materials. Call Sanitation Customer Service at (214) 670-8613 to get a free estimate on the Cost Plus service to pick up construction or remodeling materials. Please note that bricks, concrete, rocks and dirt are not collected in either the Cost Plus or regular brush and bulky trash collection services.
