When an observed holiday falls on a weekday, collections for the remainder of the week are typically delayed by one day, with Friday services occurring on Saturday.
Yard Waste Exception
Since brush and bulk are collected on the exact same day as your regular trash and recycling, they will follow the exact same holiday delay schedule.

Observed Holidays
!Contamination Tips
Glass Belongs in the Garbage
In Seagoville, sheet glass, mirrors, glassware, and ceramic dishes cannot be processed in the single-stream recycling system. You must safely place these items into your green refuse cart instead of the blue recycling cart.
Say No to Tanglers
Plastic grocery bags, garden hoses, and electrical cords are considered 'tanglers.' These items wreak havoc on recycling facility sorting machinery. Always keep recyclables loose in your blue cart with the yellow lid.
Dry and Empty Paint Cans Only
While liquid paint is strictly prohibited as it is hazardous, you can throw away empty, completely dried-out paint cans in your standard green trash cart. If there is still liquid paint, utilize the Dallas County Hazardous Waste program.
Seasonal Information
Spring
March - MaySpring cleaning often results in excess yard debris and old furniture. Remember that your weekly bulk and brush limit remains at 3 total cubic yards. Piles exceeding this limit on a single service day may be tagged and left behind by Frontier Waste crews.
Summer
June - AugustWith extreme Texas heat, trash can rapidly produce foul odors and attract pests. Make sure all household waste, especially food scraps and pet feces, is securely bagged before placing it inside the green cart. Keep the lid fully closed to deter animals.
Winter
November - JanuaryThe holiday season brings a massive influx of cardboard boxes. Be sure to completely flatten all cardboard to save space in your blue recycling cart. Bulky holiday packaging like foam cups and packing peanuts must go into the green trash cart, not recycling.
About Seagoville Waste Management
Streamlined Waste Collection in Seagoville
The City of Seagoville has partnered with Frontier Waste Solutions to offer a highly convenient residential waste program. Unlike many Texas municipalities that stagger service days, Seagoville residents enjoy the simplicity of having their trash, recycling, brush, and bulky items all collected on the exact same day each week. This consolidated approach keeps neighborhoods cleaner and minimizes the number of days carts and piles are left out on the curb.
Mastering the 3-Cubic-Yard Bulk Rule
While receiving weekly bulk and brush pickup is a fantastic municipal amenity, there are strict limits to maintain fleet efficiency. Homeowners are allowed to set out a maximum of 3 total cubic yards of combined bulk waste and brush per week. If you have excess yard clippings, all tree branches must be cut to four feet or less in length, with no branch exceeding three inches in diameter or 40 pounds in weight, and neatly stacked.
Green and Blue Cart Guidelines
Residents receive a standard green cart for household refuse and a distinctive blue cart with a yellow lid specifically designed for recycling. To ensure the automated lifting arms on Frontier's trucks can operate safely, proper cart placement is vital. Carts must be rolled to within two feet of the street edge, spaced at least three feet apart from each other, and kept clear of mailboxes, parked cars, and overhead utility lines.
Safe Disposal via Dallas County HHW Program
Seagoville strictly prohibits placing hazardous materials like wet paint, car batteries, electronics, or motor oil inside standard residential bins. Fortunately, the city participates in a comprehensive Hazardous Household Chemical Waste (HHW) disposal program in collaboration with Dallas County. This service is completely free for Seagoville residents, providing a safe, eco-friendly outlet for toxic chemicals that would otherwise contaminate local landfills.

How do I get an extra trash or recycling cart in Seagoville?
If your household generates more waste than a single set of carts can handle, you can order an additional green refuse cart or blue recycling cart by calling the City of Seagoville Customer Service at 972-287-2050. A minimal monthly fee will be added to your water bill.
Why wasn't my recycling cart emptied?
Your blue recycling cart might be rejected if it contains contamination like plastic grocery bags, glass, styrofoam, or food waste. Additionally, ensure the cart is placed at least three feet away from your trash cart and any mailboxes so the automated truck arm can safely reach it.
