Observed Holidays
Seasonal Information
Spring
March - MayPrepare for Wylie's bi-annual X-treme Green Event, typically held in the spring. This is the perfect opportunity to clear out your garage and safely dispose of household hazardous waste, electronics, and old tires at no extra charge.
Summer
June - AugustHot Texas summers require extra care with food waste. Since Wylie mandates all trash be bagged inside the grey cart, double-bagging meat or food scraps can help prevent severe odors, maggots, and pest issues between your weekly pickups.
Fall
September - NovemberWhen tackling fall lawn care, remember that loose brush counts against your monthly four-cubic-yard Saturday bulk limit. To maximize your pickup, tie and bundle your tree limbs (up to 10 feet long and 50 lbs), as CWD accepts unlimited bundled brush.
Local Tips & Community Info
Got Scrap? Find Your Nearest Wylie Cash-for-Recycling Spot
While Wylie doesn't have a specific buyback center right in town, Texas has a pretty good system for certain recyclables. You can often get a few bucks back for aluminum cans and plastic bottles at larger recycling centers or scrap metal yards that serve the wider DFW area. Think about combining a trip to one of these with your errands. For metals, local scrap yards are your best bet to turn old appliances or leftover construction bits into some cash. Just give them a quick call before you haul to check what they accept and their current rates.
Give Your Old Stuff a New Life in Wylie: Great Donation Spots Nearby!
Before you toss that perfectly good lamp or those gently used clothes, consider donating them! For folks in Wylie, a fantastic option is the Habitat for Humanity ReStore in Plano. They take furniture, appliances, building materials, and home decor, and the proceeds help build homes in the community. There are also several Goodwill locations and other local thrift stores in the surrounding areas that would be thrilled to give your items a second chance. It's a win-win – you declutter, and someone else gets a great deal while supporting a good cause.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is my bulk trash pickup day in Wylie?
Bulky waste and brush are collected once a month on a specific Saturday based on your residential address. You do not need to call ahead for this monthly Saturday service, as long as you do not exceed four cubic yards of loose brush or bulky items.
Does CWD pick up commercial construction debris?
No. Community Waste Disposal does not provide curbside pickup for commercial demolition, construction, or remodeling debris. Homeowners or their contractors must use a private dumpster or haul these materials themselves.
Can I drop off my bulky items if I miss my Saturday pickup?
Yes. Wylie residents can drop off bulky items and brush on Saturday mornings from 8:00 a.m. to noon at the Wylie Public Works facility located at 949 Hensley Lane. Just bring your driver's license or a current Wylie utility bill as proof of residency.
Are there any limits on tree limbs and brush?
You are limited to four cubic yards of loose brush per month. However, if you tie and bundle your brush (with pieces under 10 feet long and weighing less than 50 pounds each), CWD will accept unlimited quantities of tied brush on your designated bulk day.
