Who can use it

How to book

  2. Once per calendar year you can request an oversize collection of up to 20 cubic yards through the Dallas 311 app or by calling 3-1-1. Submit it the week before your collection week (by Sunday 11:59 p.m.).

Setting items out

  • Set materials out between Thursday and Sunday before your collection week.
  • Place them just behind the curb line in front of your home.
  • Keep them at least 5 feet from roll carts, mailboxes, fences, walls, water meters, parked cars, hydrants, poles and signs.

Fees

  • The monthly collection up to 10 cubic yards has no separate fee listed.
  • Set-outs over the limit, or containing prohibited items, are billed at $60 per 5 cubic yards. Early, oversize and non-compliant set-outs can also bring citations.
