[Neighbors] Garbage Pickup Transition to Curb

[liza urso]

Great info, Cathy!  Thanks so much for sharing.  And thank goodness for our deed restriction which ensures that most of LJE is exempt from the new curbside collection requirements!
There is also information in Cathy's link to the City Hall website (not the link to DMN) that explains 2 programs through which Sanitation workers will get one's cans from the back on garbage day, take them to the front and empty them into the truck, and return them to the back:    1. Pack Out- for an additional monthly fee
    2. Helping Hands- free- for a  physically disabled person with no able-bodied person living in their home
Both of these options require applications to the City.  
Actually, this info may also be in the DMN article, but I couldn't open it since I'm not a subscriber...
Best to all.  Liza

 Hi Neighbors,
The city of Dallas has announced the transition from alley to curb trash pickup. The link below has an interactive map showing the addresses impacted. In our neighborhood there are a few: the south side of Royal Ridge and the homes along the alley between Reaumur and St. Lazare/Beaver Brook. Those homes will transition to curb pickup in July 2026.

A lot of neighborhoods around us were much more heavily impacted compared to our own. Part of the decision which streets transition to curb pickup was based on whether the majority of homes on a block have front facing driveways.As we’ve had a number of new homes built in the neighborhood, I’d recommend we put an effort towards ensuring homes are not built with front facing driveways (as that is mandated by our neighborhood’s deed restrictions anyways). This will help prevent more streets in our neighborhood from being transitioned to curb pickup.
More details can be found in this article from Dallas Morning News: https://www.dallasnews.com/news/politics/2025/07/03/dallas-dallas-city-council-dallas-trash-dallas-garbage-dallas-city-hall-dallas-sanitation/
