Comprehensive Guide & Details
Regular Residential Garbage Service Rates
For residents living within the Mineola city limits, standard residential garbage collection is priced at $24.00 per month, while those living just outside the boundaries pay $21.50 monthly. This base rate provides each household with one cart that is collected once a week. If you have a larger family or consistently produce more refuse, you can easily request an additional bin for a nominal fee of $4.00 per month. Because the city operates under an exclusive solid waste franchise agreement, utilizing unauthorized outside hauling companies is strictly prohibited. For all bin requests, residents should contact City Hall directly at 903-569-6183.
Scheduling Twice-Monthly Bulk Item Removals
Disposing of large, cumbersome items is hassle-free for Mineola citizens thanks to a specialized bulk pickup service offered on the first and third Tuesday of every single month. However, this is not an automatic route; residents are required to schedule their pickup in advance by calling the utility office or submitting an online request. Acceptable items include couches, washing machines, and standard furniture. Be aware that city crews will absolutely not collect construction materials, heavy carpeting, or appliances containing freon such as refrigerators and freezers.
Brush, Limb, and Seasonal Leaf Collection
The Public Works department handles yard waste on a very specific monthly rotation. Starting on the first working day of the month, crews begin at the south end of town and slowly work their way north. Limbs must be cut into 36-inch lengths if they are under six inches in diameter. Seasonal collection windows apply: leaf collection runs exclusively from November through April, while limb pickup operates from September through May. If you prefer not to wait for the scheduled city trucks, you have the option to transport your yard trimmings directly to the municipal burn site located at the end of Bromberg Street.
Roll-Off Dumpsters for Major Projects
When undertaking a massive home renovation or a deep property cleanout, standard bins simply will not suffice. Mineola offers official roll-off container rentals exclusively through their franchised provider. Sizes range from 20-yard to 40-yard dumpsters, complete with delivery fees, daily rental rates, and per-haul charges. Booking these heavy-duty containers ensures your project stays compliant with local ordinances while keeping community streets clear of dangerous construction debris.
