Keller provides weekly residential trash and recycling collection through a contracted hauler. Residents must use city-provided carts, set them at the curb by the required time, and follow accepted-material rules.
Keller residential solid waste collection is provided under a franchise contract between the city and a private hauler, historically Republic Services and other DFW-area providers, with weekly curbside trash service, a separate recycling collection day, and occasional special pickups for bulk items and yard waste. Residents receive a wheeled trash cart and a recycling cart assigned to their address, and carts must be placed at the curb by the specified time on collection day, typically 7 a.m., with wheels facing the house and at least 3 to 5 feet of clearance from other objects, mailboxes, and parked vehicles so that automated arms can lift them. Carts should not be placed out earlier than the night before collection and must be removed from the curb by the end of collection day. Excess trash that does not fit inside the cart with the lid closed may not be picked up or may be subject to additional charges. Holiday schedule adjustments shift collection for major holidays, and residents can find current calendars on the city website or through the hauler. Hazardous waste, liquid paint, tires, batteries, and electronics are typically excluded from curbside service and must be taken to approved drop-off facilities or household hazardous waste events. Violations of placement or setout rules may lead to missed pickups, warnings, or code enforcement citations under Keller code of ordinances.
