Sherman, TX Trash & Recycling: Collection Schedule (2026)

Sherman Code of Ordinances § 13.06.042(a) makes solid waste service mandatory in the City of Sherman, Grayson County, Texas: any residence within the city limits having water service is required to have solid waste service and pay for it at the rates the code sets. A resident cannot opt out of service while keeping a water connection.

Section 13.06.050(b) sets the schedule for customers on automated routes: collection is once per week on one of the following days, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday. Section 13.06.050(a) provides one or more carts of 100 gallons or smaller at no charge, and they remain city property.

The rates in § 13.06.005, beginning October 1, 2024, are $15.30 per month per family unit for two containers with curbside or alley pickup. Carry-out service is $43.40 per month per family unit for one cart, with an extra $5.90 per month for each additional 150 feet or portion beyond 150 feet from the curb or alley. Any cart beyond the two initially provided costs $9.60 per month, and a residential cart special pickup on request costs $26.30 per trip. For multiple dwellings or apartments with four or fewer units, each family unit is treated as a single-family residence when fixing charges.

Owners of properties other than their primary residence cannot use the age option for their tenants.

Billing follows § 13.06.006: charges go through the utility billing department, and failure to pay carries the same penalty as unpaid utility charges, including disconnection of utilities and applicable termination fees. The charge is against the owner, occupant or lessee of the premises.
