The City Council chose Blackjack Disposal and Waste Connections as the two solid waste service providers for the City. Waste Connections has been serving residents for many years, albeit from name changes due to industry consolidation. This is Blackjack's first opportunity in the city.

In addition to their continued twice weekly solid waste pickup and existing options, Waste Connections shall provide monthly bulk pickup on the first Friday of each month. They can be contacted at 972-289-6714 or via wasteconnections.com.

Blackjack's proposal included an option for either once and twice a week pickup, monthly brush/bulky waste collection and monthly household hazardous waste collection. Blackjack also offers text message notification as their vehicles get close to a customers location and flexible billing options. Please contact them at 972-427-7770 or via blackjackdisposal.com.

The agreements are for three years and include options for renewal. In addition to not picking up the option, the City can utilize a process for terminating a service provider's franchise due to unsatisfactory service.
