Holiday Schedule
General Rule
When one of these three holidays falls on a weekday, collection service will be delayed one day for the remainder of the week. For example, Thursday routes will run on Friday, and Friday routes will run on Saturday.
Yard Waste Exception
Bulky item collection and bundled yard waste pickups follow the exact same holiday delay schedule as the standard household garbage and recycling routes.
Holidays like Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Labor Day do not interrupt service in Euless; expect standard pickup on those days.
Observed Holidays
!Contamination Tips
Tape and Wrap Large Glass
To protect Republic Services sanitation workers from dangerous lacerations, Euless requires all large pieces of broken glass or mirrors to be heavily taped and wrapped securely in cardboard before being placed on the curb.
No Number 6 Plastics
While CWD accepts a wide range of plastic bottles and jugs in the recycling stream, plastics marked with a #6 (like red solo cups, styrofoam packing peanuts, and certain takeout containers) are strictly prohibited and must be thrown in the garbage.
Cut Fence Panels in Half
If you are tearing down an old wooden fence, you cannot simply place an 8-foot by 6-foot panel on the curb. City guidelines dictate that panels must be cut in half (4 ft by 6 ft max) and individual planks must be tied into bundles under 50 pounds.
Seasonal Information
Spring
March - MaySpring landscaping generates excess brush. Remember that grass clippings must be bagged, while branches must be tied in 4-foot bundles under 50 pounds. For massive amounts of loose, unbundled brush, residents must call Republic Services at 817-332-7301 to arrange a paid special pickup.
Summer
June - AugustHot Texas summers accelerate the decay of food waste, leading to odors and pests. Euless requires all loose trash to be securely bagged, even if placed inside a personal garbage can with a tight lid, to keep the neighborhoods clean and litter-free.
Winter
December - FebruaryEuless only observes Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day. During these holiday weeks, if your pickup falls on or after the holiday, your service will shift by one day, meaning a normal Friday collection will occur on Saturday.
About Euless Waste Management
Euless's Dual-Hauler Collection System
The City of Euless utilizes a unique two-contractor system to manage its residential waste. Republic Services handles the twice-weekly garbage and bulky item routes, while Community Waste Disposal (CWD) manages the once-a-week curbside recycling program. Residents pay for both services centrally through their standard Euless Water Utility Office bill.
Strict Weight and Capacity Limits for Trash
Unlike cities that issue uniform 95-gallon poly carts for garbage, Euless allows residents to use their own personal containers and heavy-duty trash bags. However, there is a strict capacity rule enforced by Republic Services: no individual bag, personal trash can, or brush bundle can exceed 35 gallons in volume or 50 pounds in weight. Cans and bags must be placed at the curb by 7:00 a.m. but no earlier than 7:00 p.m. the night prior.
Choosing Your CWD Recycling Container
For recycling, Euless single-family homes are automatically enrolled in the 'Blue Bag' program at the base utility rate, where residents purchase their own transparent blue recycling bags from local grocers. Alternatively, residents who generate more recyclables can upgrade by paying a small additional monthly fee to receive an 18-gallon open-top bin or a 65-gallon rolling cart directly from CWD.
Bulky Objects and the Specialized Second Truck
Large household items like furniture, mattresses, and washers don't require a special call to schedule a pickup. Residents can place these bulky objects at the curb by 7:00 a.m. on either of their normal twice-weekly garbage days. While the standard Republic Services truck will collect the household bags, a separate dedicated bulk truck will route through the neighborhood later in the day to haul away the heavy items.
Four Free Arlington Landfill Passes Annually
When standard curbside service isn't enough for major home renovations or massive garage cleanouts, Euless residents have free access to the Arlington Landfill on Mosier Valley Road four times per calendar year. This perk is available exclusively on Saturdays from 7:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Residents must arrive in a passenger vehicle or a trailer under 8 feet long and present a valid Texas ID alongside a matching Euless water bill.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the weight limit for my personal trash can in Euless?
The City of Euless mandates that your personal garbage can, heavy-duty trash bag, or tied brush bundle must weigh no more than 50 pounds and have a volume capacity not exceeding 35 gallons.
Do I need to buy blue bags for recycling?
The base utility recycling rate covers the use of transparent blue bags, which you must purchase yourself at local grocery or hardware stores. If you prefer a reusable container, you can contact the Water Utility Office to rent an 18-gallon bin or a wheeled 65-gallon cart for an additional monthly fee.
How do I dispose of an old refrigerator or freezer?
Republic Services will pick up old refrigerators on your bulk day, but federal law requires all harmful chemicals like Freon to be removed first. A certified technician must remove the refrigerant and attach a signed verification letter and certificate directly to the appliance before it is set on the curb.
Where can I throw away concrete and bricks from a DIY project?
Items that cannot be crushed in standard garbage trucks—like stone, bricks, and concrete—will not be picked up curbside. Euless residents can use one of their four free annual passes to drop these heavy items off at the Arlington Landfill on Mosier Valley Road on Saturdays.
