Yard Waste Exception
Brush and bulk collection occur on the same day as regular trash and are subject to the exact same holiday delays.
Always have items placed at the curb by 7:00 a.m. regardless of holiday schedule adjustments.
Observed Holidays
!Contamination Tips
Empty, Clean, and Dry
Ensure all recyclables are fully rinsed and dried before placing them in the blue cart. Leftover food residue or sticky liquids can spoil an entire truckload of clean paper and cardboard.
Label Trash Look-Alikes
If you purchased a customer-owned trash container that happens to be blue and resembles the CWD recycle cart, the recycling drivers might skip it. Make sure to apply the word 'TRASH' clearly on the container so it is easily distinguishable from the street.
Keep E-Waste Out of Carts
Televisions, computers, and fluorescent tubes contain toxic heavy metals and are banned from both trash and recycling carts. Use the free Door-side Collection program instead to safely dispose of them.

March - MayWhen doing major spring cleaning, remember the combined 10-item weekly limit. If you have 4 trash cans, you can only set out 6 bulk items or brush bundles. Pace your cleanout over several weeks to avoid issues.

About Corinth Waste Management
The 10-Item Weekly Curb Limit Explained
Corinth employs a highly specific rule for standard residential garbage and bulk waste to keep neighborhoods pristine. Every week, residents can place a combined maximum of 10 items at the curb on their designated service day. This comprehensive limit includes your customer-owned trash cans, individual trash bags, heavy bulk items, and bundled brush. If your total set-out exceeds 10 items, CWD drivers will leave the excess behind. Furthermore, each filled trash container or bag must be kept under 40 pounds for the manual loaders.
Convenient Door-Side Hazardous Waste Removal
Disposing of dangerous chemicals and obsolete electronics is exceptionally simple in Corinth. Through CWD's Door-side Collection program, residents can schedule a free pickup of items like used motor oil, televisions, oil-based paints, and poisons. Collections take place every other Monday, and residents can use this service up to once a month. To participate, simply call CWD at least two weeks in advance to request a kit, pack the materials securely, and place them visibly in front of your home near the garage or entrance—not at the street curb.
Navigating Corinth's Loose Debris and Brush Rules
If you have loose household debris from a minor DIY project, you cannot just sweep it into a pile or leave it in open lawn bags for bulk pickup. Corinth mandates that all loose household debris must be containerized in a box no larger than 2' x 2' x 4' and weigh no more than 50 pounds. For yard waste, loose brush is strictly prohibited. All tree limbs must be securely tied and bundled into 4-foot lengths, weighing under 40 pounds per bundle, to be eligible for collection.
Free Weekend Access to the CWD Transfer Station
If you are tackling a massive home cleanout that easily exceeds the 10-item weekly limit, you don't have to live with the clutter for another week. Corinth residents are entitled to utilize the CWD Transfer Station located on California Crossing Road in Dallas completely free of charge. Operating Wednesday through Saturday from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM, residents simply need to present their driver's license showing their Corinth address and a copy of their current water bill to safely dispose of their excess materials.
Mastering Placement: Automated Recycling vs. Manual Trash
In Corinth, recycling is serviced via automated side-loading trucks using the provided blue CWD carts, while standard trash is picked up manually by crews. To ensure both collection vehicles can operate efficiently without damaging property, the city requires residents to keep their customer-provided trash receptacles a minimum of 10 feet away from the blue recycle cart. Both waste streams must also be kept three feet away from mailboxes, fences, parked cars, and gas meters.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why was my trash container not emptied?
Drivers will not empty manual trash containers that exceed 40 pounds or if your total set-out (trash cans + bulk items + brush bundles) exceeds 10 items for the week. Additionally, if your personal trash can is blue, it must be clearly labeled 'TRASH' so it isn't confused with the automated recycling cart.
How do I schedule a pickup for household hazardous waste?
Corinth residents can schedule a free Door-side Collection for items like paint, poison, and electronics by calling CWD at (972) 392-9300, Option 2, at least two weeks in advance. Collections occur every other Monday.
Can I put loose branches on the curb for bulk day?
No. Loose brush is strictly prohibited and will not be picked up by the crews. All brush must be tied and bundled in lengths no longer than 4 feet and weighing no more than 40 pounds per bundle.
How do I get rid of an old refrigerator?
You must first hire a certified technician to remove the refrigerants and place a tag on the appliance certifying the safe removal. Once tagged, call CWD to inform them it will be on the curb for your regular weekly trash day.
