Duncanville City Council voted 5-2 on Tuesday to approve a new solid-waste and recycling contract with Republic Services, according to City of Duncanville. The agreement covers solid-waste and recycling services.
A Focus Daily News report of a seven-year term concerned a contract approved in 2019, not the new agreement.
Generally, 95-gallon and 65-gallon carts are options in most locations. The contract includes monthly household hazardous waste and electronics collection, as reported by City of Duncanville.
Other Household Chemical Disposal
For household chemicals outside the city’s monthly collection, Dallas County says its Home Chemical Collection Center offers free disposal to residents of participating cities, including Duncanville.
What Focus Daily News Reported About the 2019 Contract
Focus Daily News reported that monthly bills under the 2019 contract rose from $17.18 to $21.68 for curbside service and from $22.77 to $27.77 for alley service.
The 2019 report also discussed recycling-cart rentals; those terms applied to the earlier agreement, not the new contract.
Timeline and What Happens Next
The new contract enhancements are scheduled to begin October 1, 2027, as noted by City of Duncanville, giving the city roughly a year to prepare for the switch.
