Flower Mound Trash Pickup Schedule 2026: Quick Resident Answer
Republic Services collects residential trash, recycling, bulk items and brush once each week in Flower Mound. Your exact weekday depends on the service address. The Town’s official map divides routes into Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday areas.
Place the blue trash cart and green recycling cart at the curb by 7:00 a.m. Carts may go out no earlier than 8:00 a.m. the day before collection and must be removed no later than 8:00 a.m. the day after collection.
Regular weekly bulk and brush service allows up to four cubic yards. A single bulk item should not exceed 3 feet by 3 feet by 12 feet. Oversized piles need a paid Republic Services special pickup or a resident landfill trip.
Is Flower Mound Trash Pickup Delayed This Week?
The official holiday calendar and a live Republic Services route alert answer different questions. The Town holiday calendar tells you whether a planned 2026 holiday delay applies. Republic’s address schedule, account alerts or Town announcements identify weather and operational changes.
2026 official holiday-table status
Use This Four-Check Order
- Confirm your normal weekday. Use the Town’s collection map or ask Customer Relations to verify the service address.
- Check the official 2026 holiday table. Some Town office closures do not delay trash. Do not assume every holiday changes service.
- Enter the address on Republic’s schedule page. Account holders may also see service alerts or Track My Truck information.
- Call 972-539-SERV when the answer remains unclear. Provide the full address, normal collection day and whether trash, recycling, bulk or brush is affected.
How to Find Your Flower Mound Trash Schedule Today
The assigned weekday controls regular trash, recycling, bulk and brush service. Do not rely only on the weekday used by a nearby neighborhood because collection boundaries can cross major roads and subdivisions.
- Open the Town’s official trash and recycling map. The PDF shows five color-coded weekday zones.
- Locate the exact street and side of the route boundary. Zoom in because some neighborhoods sit close to different weekday colors.
- Confirm a difficult address with the Town. Call 972-539-7378 if the address is near a boundary, newly built or not clearly readable.
- Save one weekly reminder. Trash, recycling and eligible bulk or brush normally use the same weekday, though separate trucks may arrive at different times.
- Add a holiday reminder. During a one-day-delay week, the normal weekday may move through Saturday.
Flower Mound Trash and Recycling Map PDF
The map currently linked from the Town’s live Trash / Recycling page is a one-page PDF marked September 2016. Because the Town still links to it, it is useful as the official starting map, but residents near route boundaries should confirm the address rather than treating the map date as proof that no route has ever changed.
Monday
The PDF uses yellow for Monday service areas.
Tuesday
The PDF uses blue for Tuesday service areas.
Wednesday
The PDF uses orange for Wednesday service areas.
Thursday
The PDF uses green for Thursday service areas.
Friday
The PDF uses pink for Friday service areas.
Boundary address
Call 972-539-7378 when the street is difficult to read or sits close to two colors.
After understanding what the map shows, open the official PDF for the street-level view.

Republic Services Flower Mound Schedule This Week
Republic Services provides Flower Mound collection, but the Town handles residential setup, billing, cart requests and many service reports. Use the route source that matches the question.
Normal weekday
Use the Town route-map PDF or ask Customer Relations to verify the complete address.
Republic account status
Use Republic’s address schedule, account alerts or Track My Truck feature for route-level information.
Town-wide change
Use the Town holiday page and official announcements for weather or community-wide delays.
After identifying the type of confirmation needed, use the appropriate official page.
Check Republic Schedule by Address Check Town Holiday DelaysFlower Mound Bulk Trash Pickup
Flower Mound includes weekly curbside bulk and brush collection on the property’s standard collection day. A separate appointment is not normally required when the pile stays within the regular limits.
Examples of Regularly Accepted Bulk Items
Furniture
Sofas, chairs and other ordinary household furniture are listed within the accepted bulk category.
Toilets and water heaters
The Town specifically lists toilets and water heaters as bulk examples.
Appliances
Appliances are accepted, but refrigerant-containing appliances need certified removal and a service tag.
Items Excluded From Regular Bulk Collection
| Excluded material | Why it is excluded | Better disposal path |
|---|---|---|
| Hazardous waste | Special handling is required. | Schedule HHW home collection. |
| Electronics | E-waste uses the front-porch collection program. | Schedule Republic HHW/e-waste pickup. |
| Car parts and tires | Not accepted in regular bulk. | Ask Republic, a tire retailer or an appropriate disposal facility. |
| Bricks, concrete and tile | Non-compactible heavy material. | Use Camelot Landfill; additional fees may apply. |
| Construction and renovation debris | Project waste may require a roll-off under the Town franchise agreement. | Contact Republic Services at 817-317-2000. |
Flower Mound Mattress Disposal
The Town’s bulk page does not list “mattress” by name, but it accepts furniture and other residential household items. A normal mattress or box spring is therefore reasonably treated as weekly bulk when it fits the size and total four-cubic-yard limit. Confirm unusual, contaminated or oversized bedding with Republic before set-out.
Use weekly bulk when
- The mattress is ordinary residential furniture.
- The complete bulk pile stays within four cubic yards.
- No dimension exceeds the regular item-size limit.
- The item is placed on the normal collection day.
Call Republic first when
- The mattress is heavily damaged or contaminated.
- Several mattresses and furniture pieces exceed four cubic yards.
- The property is an apartment or commercial account.
- You need pickup before the normal weekday.
Flower Mound Brush and Yard-Waste Rules
| Rule | Official limit | Resident action |
|---|---|---|
| Branch length | No more than four feet | Cut longer limbs before bundling. |
| Bundle weight | No more than 50 pounds | Split heavy bundles so one worker can handle them safely. |
| Weekly volume | Four cubic yards combined with bulk | Separate excess material over multiple weeks or request a paid pickup. |
| Regular collection day | Same assigned weekday as trash | Keep brush separate from carts and furniture. |

Flower Mound Weekly Recycling Rules
Republic Services collects the green 95-gallon recycling cart once per week on the same assigned weekday as trash. A different truck empties the recycling cart, and the sorting occurs at Republic’s facility.
Place these in the green cart
- Paper.
- Flattened cardboard.
- Plastic bottles and jugs.
- Metal cans.
- Milk, juice and other accepted cartons.

Keep these out

Flower Mound Recycling Drop-Off Options
The Town’s primary recycling page does not list one permanent municipal drop-off center for every recyclable material. Most common paper, cardboard, bottles, cans, cartons and glass belong in the weekly green cart.

Use Time to Recycle or the Texas recycling directory for items not accepted in the green cart.
Green waste
Use Living Earth for clean brush, leaves, grass and source-separated tree trimmings.
Eco-Action events
Keep Flower Mound Beautiful operates periodic recycling and shredding events, not an everyday drop-off center.
2026 Spring Eco-Action Day Reference
The April 18, 2026 Eco-Action Day accepted personal shredding, small appliances, small furniture, clothing, textiles, electronics other than televisions, writing instruments, eyeglasses, thin-film plastic, wire hangers, books and gently used sneakers. It did not accept liquids, fluorescent bulbs, auto batteries, tires or large furniture.

What to Do After a Missed Flower Mound Pickup

- Report the exact service stream. Tell Customer Relations whether trash, recycling, bulk or brush was missed.
- Save the request details. Record the time, representative, request number and any photograph of the properly prepared set-out.
