Cedar Hill provides weekly single-stream curbside recycling accepting clean paper, cardboard, plastics #1 and #2, aluminum and steel cans, and glass, with no plastic bags, food waste, or electronics in the recycling cart.
Cedar Hill residents receive a separate roll-out recycling cart that is collected weekly through the city's contracted hauler. Accepted single-stream materials typically include flattened cardboard, mixed paper and newspaper, plastic bottles and jugs marked #1 PETE and #2 HDPE, aluminum and steel food and beverage cans, and rinsed glass bottles and jars. Items must be empty and reasonably clean — greasy pizza boxes, food-soiled paper, plastic film and bags, Styrofoam, electronics, batteries, textiles, and household hazardous waste are prohibited and contaminate loads. Residents who want to recycle plastic bags should return them to grocery store collection bins. Electronics can be dropped off at periodic Dallas County e-waste events or retailer take-back programs.
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.
