Residential recycling is provided by Waste Connections. Curbside recycling is a once-a-week pick-up on the same as your trash day. Recyclables go in the 95-gallon blue collection cart. Please have your recyclables bagged to prevent litter during service.
For any questions or concerns please contact Frisco Environmental Services 972-292-5900.
Recycling is easy in the City of Frisco. Please follow these guidelines:
Roll out your cart for service by 7 a.m. on your recycle and trash day.
Place cart at least three (3) feet away from any obstacles.
Place carts so handles face towards the house and the lid opens away from the street.
Read directions on the lid.
Place recyclable items, which are illustrated on the lid, in your cart -- not the trash.
Secure all recycling in bags.
