Let's Talk Trash!

City Of Rowlett Citizen Survey for Future Solid Waste Services

The City's current solid waste contract expires in September 2024. The City of Rowlett is interested in hearing about what YOU consider important as we proactively begin the process of contracting our next solid waste service provider. Services and pricing will change so we want your opinion on the services that matter most to you. Why are we beginning this process in 2022 if our current contract doesn’t expire until 2024? Due to the time it now takes to order and receive new equipment (i.e. poly carts, vehicles), providers require an 18-month lead time so Rowlett will be awarding a new contract by the end of the year. Thank you for sharing your opinions - your input will help inform the services our community receives with our next vendor!
