Curbside Junk Pickup in Denton County, TX
City bulk trash pickup works well when your items fit the rules. When they don’t (too much, the wrong kind of item, or it has to be gone before the next collection day), Mean Green Junk Removal picks it up from your curb, driveway, or alley in Denton and across North DFW.

How Curbside Junk Pickup Works
Curbside pickup is the simplest job we do. You move the items outside, and we load and haul them.
- Book. Request a preferred date and time online or call 940-758-5300, and we confirm the details with you.
- Set it out. Put the items at the curb, in the driveway, or by the alley on the day of pickup, and tell us where they are.
- Approve and go. The crew looks at the pile, confirms the price before loading, then loads everything and sweeps up.
Same-day and next-day appointments are often available. If you need a single item gone today, see same-day junk removal.
Do You Need to Be Home?
Not always. If the items are already outside and the crew can reach them, some pickups can go ahead while you are out; tell us when you book. When you book, tell us:
- Exactly where the items are and what is in the pile
- Gate codes or anything that blocks the truck
- The best number to reach you for the price approval
The office confirms how approval and payment will work for your address before the crew arrives. Card and cash are both accepted, with no card processing fees.
Curbside Pickup Pricing
Curbside jobs are priced the same way as every Mean Green job: by how much of our 18-cubic-yard truck your items fill. Pricing starts at $115 for a minimum load and covers loading, hauling, and disposal. There are no hidden fees and no card processing charges, and the crew confirms the price before anything is loaded.
Large items are fine. Sectionals, mattresses, appliances, hot tub panels, fence sections, and yard debris all ride along in the same visit if there is room on the truck. Bed bug furniture carries a $350 handling charge. Veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and teachers get 5% off. See every detail on our junk removal pricing page.
Curbside Pickup vs. City Bulky Trash Collection
If your city’s bulky item pickup fits what you have, use it; bulky item pickup in Denton and nearby cities is usually included in your trash bill. Here is how the programs near Denton compare, from each city’s official page (checked October 2026; rules change, so confirm before you set anything out, or see our full bulk trash pickup rules by city):
| City | Schedule | Limit | Watch for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Denton | Weekly; call (940) 349-8700 or book online at least 1 business day ahead | 2 items a week free; $5 per extra item | No remodel debris or trash bags; refrigerant appliances cost extra |
| Flower Mound | Weekly, on trash day | Up to 4 cubic yards; items no larger than 3′ x 3′ x 12′ | Freon appliances need a technician’s tag |
| Frisco | Once a month; reserve online by noon the business day before | 5 items; nothing over 6 feet or 50 lb | Appliances and metal are a separate $15 pickup |
| McKinney | By appointment, up to 12 times a year; request by noon the business day before | Must fit 3.5′ x 3′ x 9′, or two large household pieces | Landlords can’t book pickup for rental property; Freon appliances need proof of evacuation |
| Plano | Once a month on your assigned day | Piles no larger than 6′ x 4′ x 4′ | Freon appliances are a paid collection |
| Little Elm | Twice a month on your bulk week | Up to 6 cubic yards per pickup | No tires, batteries, or remodel debris |
| Lewisville | Same day as trash and recycling; out by 7 am | Up to 3 cubic yards, bulky and yard waste combined | Freon appliances need a technician’s “freon removed” tag |
| The Colony | Twice a month on designated Mondays | Up to 4 cubic yards | No electronics or TVs |
| Highland Village | On your regular service day | Up to 3 cubic yards per pickup | No construction or remodel debris |
| Corinth | Weekly, on trash day | 10 items a week, trash and bulk combined | Call the hauler ahead for furniture and appliances |
Denton lets residents schedule up to 2 bulky items a week at no extra charge, with additional items at $5 each. Call (940) 349-8700 or use the City’s online Self-Service form at least one business day before your collection day. Construction and remodeling materials and trash bags are not eligible. Check the current rules on the City of Denton’s Bulky Waste page.
Private curbside pickup is the better fit when:
- You have more than the city allows, or more than one pickup’s worth
- It’s a rental: McKinney, for example, treats rentals as commercial property and won’t let landlords book bulky pickup
- The city won’t take it: remodel debris, tires, electronics, or untagged appliances
- It can’t wait for your collection day, or the city limits how early it can sit at the curb
- The items are too big or heavy to drag to the curb in the first place
What You Can Put at the Curb, and What We Can't Take
Curbside furniture pick up and almost anything else you can carry out can go: furniture, mattresses, appliances, boxes, electronics, tires, yard debris, fence boards, and remodel leftovers. If an appliance still holds refrigerant, tell us when you book.
We cannot take asbestos, bleach, or medicines, and paint needs a look first.
Watch your city’s set-out rules and your HOA. Plano, for example, does not allow bulky items at the curb more than five days early. With a private pickup you can put items out the morning we come, or leave them in the garage or driveway and tell us where they are.
When In-Home Removal Is the Better Call
If getting it to the curb is the hard part, skip that step. The crew carries items out from bedrooms, upstairs rooms, garages, attics, and backyards, and the pricing works the same way.
- Furniture removal for sectionals, dressers, and anything that won’t make the stairs
- Appliance removal for refrigerators, washers, and dryers
- Residential junk removal for whole rooms or a mix of everything
For curbside junk removal that starts indoors, book in-home removal.

Frequently Asked Questions about Curbside Junk Pickup in the DFW Metroplex
How does curbside junk pickup work?
Book a preferred date and time online or by phone, and we confirm the details with you. Put the items at the curb, driveway, or alley that day. The crew confirms the price before loading, then loads, hauls, and sweeps up.
Do I need to be home for curbside pickup?
Not always. If the items are outside and reachable, tell us where they are and the best number to reach you. The office confirms how price approval and payment will work before the crew arrives.
How much does curbside junk pickup cost?
Pricing starts at $115 for a minimum load and is based on how much of our 18-cubic-yard truck your items fill. Loading, hauling, and disposal are included, with no card processing fees.
Isn't city bulk trash pickup free?
Most cities include some bulk pickup in your trash bill, with limits on volume, item types, and schedule. When your items fit the rules, use it. Private pickup is for what the city won’t take or can’t take soon enough.
What can't you take from the curb?
We cannot take asbestos, bleach, or medicines, and paint needs a look first. Tell us about any appliance that still holds refrigerant when you book.
How soon can you pick up?
Same day junk pickup and next-day appointments are often available. Call 940-758-5300 to check the schedule for your address.
Can you pick up from the alley or driveway instead of the street?
Yes, as long as the truck can reach the spot safely. Tell us where the items are when you book.
