Comprehensive Guide & Details
Solid Waste Services for Our Lakeside Community
Nestled along the scenic shores of Lewisville Lake, Highland Village is a community that deeply values its natural surroundings and outdoor spaces. The local administration partners closely with top-tier waste contractors to provide comprehensive refuse and recycling solutions. Adhering strictly to the established neighborhood disposal schedules helps preserve the pristine nature of our parks, trails, and waterfront areas, ensuring Denton County remains beautiful for generations.
Preparing Your Carts for Route Day
For efficient mechanical collection, all residential garbage receptacles must be placed at the curb edge by 7:00 AM on your assigned service morning. Proper orientation is key: face the front handle toward your house and ensure a minimum three-foot clearance from mailboxes, parked vehicles, and decorative landscaping. All waste must be securely bagged within the cart to prevent loose trash from blowing into the lake during windy Texas storms.
Curbside Recycling Expectations
The city operates a robust recycling program designed to divert reusable materials away from the regional landfill. Your designated blue bin is strictly for items such as flattened corrugated cardboard, aluminum cans, and rinsed plastic containers. Please do not bag your recyclables. Tangling items like plastic grocery bags, garden hoses, and styrofoam packaging are strictly prohibited and will result in a rejected pickup at the curb.
Brush, Bulk, and Hazardous Waste Options
Highland Village offers unique solutions for oversized debris and dangerous materials. Residents can utilize designated bulk pickup days for old furniture and bundled tree limbs. Even more conveniently, the city provides a specialized front-door collection program for household hazardous waste and electronics. Items like old paint, motor oil, and batteries can be scheduled for a safe pickup right from your porch, keeping dangerous chemicals out of our local waterways.
Navigating Holiday Route Disruptions
Sanitation routes are occasionally altered to accommodate major national holidays such as Thanksgiving, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day. If one of these specific holidays falls on a weekday, all subsequent collections for that week will be delayed by exactly twenty-four hours. For example, a scheduled Wednesday pickup will instead occur on Thursday. Always monitor the municipal website for official holiday calendar updates.
Handling a Missed Collection Stop
Even the most optimized routes can sometimes experience hiccups due to traffic delays or mechanical issues. If your properly staged cart is skipped while the rest of your street is serviced, simply leave the bin at the curb. Contact the Highland Village utility billing and solid waste desk the following morning to report the oversight, and a dedicated recovery truck will be sent out to handle the situation.
