What's Recyclable At Home
DownloadTrash Pickup Service
Harker Heights has partnered with WM to provide residential waste service that sets the standard for sustainable trash disposal.
If a holiday falls on a weekday, collections for the rest of the week will be pushed back a day. For example, for a Thursday holiday, service would be on Friday, and Friday service would be Saturday. For holidays on Saturday or Sunday, there are no delays. Check for holidays that may affect your service.
