(For example, if your current collection day is Thursday, your recyclables will be collected on designated Thursdays every other week.)
Place blue roll-out recycling carts at least 3 feet away from green trash carts, mailboxes, gas meters, fences, parked cars, overhead obstacles and other items.
According to City ordinance, residential waste shall be placed at the location designated by the City no earlier than 6:00 p.m. of the evening before and no later than 6:30 a.m. of the collection day.

Waste Management does offer recycling programs to apartment management for the entire complex based on needs and logistics. If interested, apartment managers may call Waste Management Customer Service at 972-315-5400, to receive an individualized program and quote.
