The City of Sachse does have ordinances
regarding trash, recycling and bulk / brush pickup. Section 6-10,
Solid Waste Regulations of the City of Sachse Municipal Code Book, does
address regulations regarding carts and bulk item placement. Garbage For residential customers, waste is collected in your BLUE 95 gallon cart once per week. If you have an alley, your trash will be picked up in the alley. Otherwise, you must place your polycart curbside by 7:00 am of your designated trash day. Click here to view a map. Carts should be placed with lid hinges of cart pointing towards the house. Please visit the Allied Waste Services website at www.alliedwastedfw.com for more information and service request or you may call AWS customer service at 972.422.2341. Recycling Recycling is serviced in your GREEN 95 gallon cart every other week, the same day as your trash pickup. Place your recycling cart in the same location as your trash cart. Place carts at least two feet apart from each other. View the map above to determine if your recycling area is blue or yellow. Then click here for a pickup schedule. Cart should be placed with lid hinges of cart pointing towards the house. Accepted in the Recycling Cart Plastic containers #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, and #7, glass jars and bottles of any color, (no ceramics or plate glass), aluminum and tin cans, all junk mail, chipboard (including cereal/cracker boxes), corrugated cardboard, newsprint, magazines, catalogs, computer paper, and stationary. NOT Accepted in the Recycling Cart They CANNOT pick up plastic film, bubble wrap or bags, no types of Styrofoam, kitchen or yard waste, plastic motor oil bottles, batteries of any type, water hoses, electrical cords, and swimming pool liners. For a complete list, service request or questions about recycling and the environment, visit Allied Waste Services (AWS) website at www.recycleitdfw.com or call AWS customer service at 972.422.2341. Some Helpful Hints: Flatten out cardboard boxes and place them in your GREEN 95 gallon recycling cart. If boxes are large such as moving boxes or appliance boxes, please cut them into smaller sizes to fit in your cart. All items must be placed inside the cart. It can no longer be picked up outside of the cart. Bulky Trash / Brush Items Bulky / brush items are collected once per month, limit of 12 cubic yards, during the second Wednesday week of the month, the week in which the second Wednesday of the month falls (except in December when bulk pickup is scheduled after Christmas) and on the same day as your 95 gallon trash cart is serviced. Click here for service days. Please place bulky / brush out front curb side, NOT IN THE ALLEY. The bulk trash trucks are too large to drive down our alleys, so bulk pickup will always be in the front, curb side. Place your bulk trash out by 7:00 am on your service day with trash during the week the second Wednesday of the month falls. Sachse has an ordinance which prohibits residents from placing bulk items out prior to the Monday of the week of pick up. Allied Waste will pick up bulky / brush, furniture, appliances (items with freon must be drained of all freon and TAGGED BY LICENSED AIR/HEATING COMPANY), and other large items not to exceed 12 cubic yards (Example: back of four pickup trucks or 6' x 6' x 9' area). If it is tree trimmings, they must be cut and bundled in four foot sections. The term "bundle" shall be defined as tree branches, shrubs and brush trimmings securely tied together forming an easily handled package, not exceeding four feet (4') in length, six inches (6") in diameter, or 50 pounds in weight.
