Comprehensive Guide & Details

Dedicated Residential Trash and Recycling

The City of Whitehouse partners with Republic Services to manage the sanitation needs of its growing community. Standard household garbage is collected once a week. Every home is provided with a distinct blue 95-gallon cart specifically for trash. It is strictly prohibited to use personal, store-bought garbage cans for curbside pickup. To guarantee service, residents must roll their carts to the street edge no later than 7:00 a.m. on their designated collection day, ensuring the lid is completely closed and all contents are securely bagged.

Bi-Monthly Curbside Recycling

Whitehouse actively promotes environmental responsibility through a structured recycling program. Recycling is collected twice a month, specifically on the first and third Wednesday of the month. Participating households are issued a separate cart identifiable by its light blue lid. This receptacle is reserved exclusively for approved recyclable materials. Mixing household food waste or standard trash into the light blue cart will result in the bin being left unemptied to prevent contamination at the processing facility.

Scheduling Thursday Bulk Pickups

Disposing of heavy household items like mattresses or couches is accommodated through a specialized bulk pickup schedule on the first and third Thursdays of the month. Whitehouse residents are allowed to set out up to two bulk items per collection. However, you must schedule this service in advance by calling Republic Services at 903-586-1449 before 12:00 p.m. on the Wednesday prior to collection. This program also accepts dry, securely bagged leaves, with a strict limit of twelve leaf bags per scheduled pickup.

Monthly Free Landfill Disposal

As an added benefit to local taxpayers, Whitehouse residents are granted the privilege of disposing of up to three cubic yards of household waste at no charge each month. This amount is roughly equivalent to a standard pickup truck bed. To take advantage of this free disposal allowance, you must physically present your most recent, original Whitehouse water bill along with a matching government-issued photo ID at the designated waste facility. This is an excellent option for clearing out garages or handling minor home project debris.
