Dallas Department of Sanitation Services

The city of Dallas says its solid waste collection trucks can't navigate narrow alleys. Now residents are being surveyed to see if they would be willing to pay to keep the service.

Dallas residents say the city should be held accountable for infrastructure issues with alley trash pickup, whch was set to transition to a curbside model next year.

At a Tuesday briefing, sanitation department officials told the Dallas City Council that alley collection was inefficient — and sometimes dangerous.

Trash and recycling collection days are different for more than half of Dallas residents.

Dallas residents will see higher water and trash pick-up fees if the city council approves the proposed $4.5 billion budget.

Dallas is struggling to get old tires dumped in empty lots and on residential streets to a recycling facility.

Missed trash and recycling pickups have been a headache for Dallas residents all summer.
