Why is the garbage/recycling pickup schedule changing?

The City of Grand Prairie is updating the garbage/recycling pickup schedule to streamline operations and enhance efficiency in waste collection services.

How will the new garbage pickup schedule work?

The new schedule will involve two areas: one north of Warrior Trail and one south of Warrior Trail. Residents in the north area (AREA 1) will have their garbage picked up on Tuesdays and Fridays, while residents in the south area (AREA 2) will have their garbage picked up on Mondays and Thursdays.

Will my garbage pickup frequency change?

No, your garbage pickup frequency will remain the same. You will still have your garbage picked up twice a week.

What about recycling pickup?

Recycling pickup will also see a change. It will now occur once a week, every Wednesday, for all residents.
