Cedar Hill provides weekly residential trash and recycling collection through its contracted hauler, with set route days by neighborhood and holiday slide schedules published annually.
Residential solid waste service in Cedar Hill includes once-per-week trash collection in a 96-gallon roll-out cart, once-per-week single-stream recycling in a separate cart, and scheduled bulk and brush collection. Route days vary by neighborhood; residents can look up their day on the city's solid waste page. When a major holiday (New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas) falls on or before a collection day, service typically slides one day later for the rest of that week. Acceptable household waste includes bagged garbage; prohibited materials include hazardous waste, automotive fluids, batteries, electronics in the regular cart, tires, and construction debris from contractor jobs. Special arrangements are needed for those.
Specific penalty amounts for this ordinance are not published in a publicly accessible fine schedule. Contact Cedar Hill code enforcement directly for current fines, enforcement procedures, and hearing options.
