The official Keller/CWD map is the safest way to confirm your service days. Keller homes are served either on a Monday/Thursday schedule or a Tuesday/Friday schedule. Your second weekly service day matters because that is when bulk items are collected.

1

Open the Keller collection map

Use the official CWD/Keller collection map instead of copying a neighbour’s day. Streets near service boundaries can be confusing.

2

Write down both trash days

Your first day is important for yard waste recycling. Your second day is important for bulk pickup.

3

Confirm your recycling day

Recycling is weekly, but the exact day depends on your address. Use the map or CWD Keller page.

4

Save CWD and Keller contacts

Use CWD for missed pickup, extra carts and HHW scheduling. Use Keller Utility Billing for city billing, senior rate and recycling bin requests.

Bulk pickup

Keller Bulk Trash Pickup — Second Weekly Service Day, 2 Cubic Yard Limit and Prohibited Debris

Accepted Bulk Examples
  • Furniture.
  • Toys and yard tools tagged as “Bulk Item.”

Yard waste

Keller Yard Waste Pickup — Compost Route on First Service Day, Landfill Route on Second Service Day

Keller has a practical split for yard waste. Correctly prepared yard waste placed out on your first service day can be collected by a separate CWD truck and taken to a compost facility. Materials placed out on your second service day, or materials prepared incorrectly, may go to the landfill instead.

Compost-Friendly Preparation
  • Brush must be bundled 4 feet or shorter.
  • Bundles must weigh 50 pounds or less.
  • Use biodegradable cotton/jute rope, twine or string.
  • Leaves and small yard waste should be in biodegradable kraft bags.
  • CWD accepts up to 10 bags/bundles per resident on each collection day.
  • Use the first weekly service day for compost-route pickup.
Do Not Use These
  • No nylon rope.
  • No plastic rope, plastic strapping or plastic bags for compost-route yard waste.
  • No metal wire.
  • No garden hoses to tie bundles.
  • No loose brush in any amount.
  • No oversized or overweight bundles.

Local resident tip: After storms or heavy trimming, separate yard waste into compost-friendly bags and bundles before pickup morning. Plastic-bagged yard debris may still be picked up as trash within acceptable limits, but it will not be composted.

Holiday service

Keller 2026 Holiday Trash Pickup — New Year, Thanksgiving and Christmas Cautions

The City of Keller says CWD office staff and customer service typically observe three holidays annually: New Year’s Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. The city also advises residents to check Keller communication channels for individual holiday garbage and recycling schedules because route schedules may vary.

Holiday 2026 Date Day Keller Resident Action
New Year’s Day January 1, 2026 Thursday Check Keller/CWD communication for Thursday and Friday route changes. Do not assume normal service without checking.
Thanksgiving Day November 26, 2026 Thursday Thursday and Friday residents should watch for CWD slide-over instructions from Keller.
Christmas Day December 25, 2026 Friday Friday-route residents should verify whether service moves to Saturday or receives a different instruction.

Do not use another CWD city’s holiday table as Keller’s final answer. CWD serves many North Texas cities, but Keller’s official page says to check Keller communication channels for individual holiday schedules because routes may vary.
