Local Tips & Community Info
Got Metal? Turn Your Scrap into Some Cash Around Seagoville!
While Seagoville might not have a dedicated buyback center right in town, don't let that stop you from making a little extra cash for your old cans and scrap metal. Places like Dallas Iron & Metal or similar scrap yards in the greater Dallas area are always looking for materials. You can usually get a decent price for aluminum cans, steel, copper, and other metals. It's a great way to clear out your garage and pocket some extra dollars. Just give them a call before you head over to check their current buy prices and what types of metal they accept.
Give Your Good Stuff a Second Life in Seagoville!
Before you toss those gently used items, think about giving them a new home! While there aren't huge donation centers physically located within Seagoville itself, nearby communities often have fantastic options. Check out places like the Habitat for Humanity ReStore in Mesquite or Dallas. They happily take furniture, appliances, building materials, and household goods, and the money they make helps build homes. You can also look for local churches or community centers that might run donation drives or have thrift stores that would love to receive your contributions.
Keeping Seagoville Clean: Let's Tackle Dumping Together!

You can often find contact information on the city's official website for public works or code enforcement. They can guide you on how to report it and what happens next.

Frequently Asked Questions
When does Seagoville pick up bulky items?
Seagoville is unique in that bulk items and brush are collected weekly on the exact same day as your regular trash and recycling. Residents can put out up to 3 cubic yards of bulk waste at the curb by 7:00 a.m. on their designated service day.
What do I do with extra yard waste?
Small yard waste should be bagged and placed inside your green refuse cart. If you have large branches, they must be cut to 4 feet or less in length, be no thicker than 3 inches in diameter, weigh less than 40 pounds, and be stacked neatly for the weekly bulk collection.
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.
