The City of Garland is a leader in fully automated residential collection systems. All normal household garbage should be bagged and placed inside the green container so the lid closes completely. Collection routes are run weekly Tuesday through Friday. Service includes delivery and maintenance of one green container. We will provide up to two additional containers for a monthly charge of $6.1 0 for each additional container. Guidelines for Fast, Efficient Collection: • Place container at collection point no later than 7 a.m. on collection day • Place multiple containers side-by-side with four feet (4') of space between them and position the wheels toward the house. • Do not place containers near mailboxes, electrical or cable boxes, or other stationary objects such as gas or water meter and do not park vehicles in front of container on collection day • If your container needs repair or replacing, contact EWS Customer Service at 972-205-3500 • Household chemicals and electronics are not allowed in the trash container. Take them to the Dallas County Home Chemical Collection Center at 11234 Plano Rd., Dallas. Call 214-553-1765 for information and operating hours. pb Cam
