Denton County, TX Trash & Recycling: Bulk Item Disposal (2026)

Bulk waste disposal in unincorporated Denton County relies on a combination of private hauler services and county-supported facilities. Most private haulers serving the area offer scheduled bulk pickup for large items (furniture, appliances, mattresses) for an additional fee, typically $25 to $75 per pickup or included as a periodic service (often quarterly). The City of Denton Landfill at 1527 S. Mayhill Road accepts waste from Denton County residents at posted gate rates. Denton County partners with Keep Denton Beautiful and local municipalities to hold Household Hazardous Waste collection events approximately four to six times per year at rotating locations throughout the county. These free events accept paint, motor oil, pesticides, cleaning chemicals, batteries, electronics, and small appliances from Denton County residents with proof of residency. Construction and demolition debris may be disposed of at the landfill or through roll-off container services from private haulers. The county Environmental Health division can be reached at (940) 349-2860 for information about upcoming HHW events and disposal options.
