Denton County does not operate a countywide trash collection service for unincorporated areas. Property owners in unincorporated Denton County must arrange their own trash pickup through private waste haulers.

Common private haulers serving the area include Republic Services, Waste Connections, and Community Waste Disposal. Cities within the county operate their own collection services or franchise agreements.
Trash collection in unincorporated Denton County is entirely private and market-driven. The county does not contract with waste haulers, does not mandate service, and does not regulate collection schedules or pricing. Property owners select their own hauler and negotiate service terms directly. Most private haulers offer weekly curbside collection for residential properties at rates typically ranging from $30 to $60 per month depending on container size and service level. Some rural properties in the western and northern portions of Denton County may have limited hauler options due to distance from disposal facilities. The county does operate the Denton County Landfill (managed by the City of Denton) and transfer station infrastructure that private haulers utilize. Texas Local Government Code Chapter 364 authorizes counties to regulate solid waste collection and disposal but Denton County has not exercised this authority to mandate residential collection service. Properties within city limits or ETJs are typically served by the citys contracted or franchised hauler.
No county-level pickup rule violations exist for residential properties. Illegal dumping of waste on private or public property is a criminal offense under Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter 365, punishable by fines up to $2,000 for the first offense. Contact Denton County Code Compliance at (940) 349-2860 to report illegal dumping.
