Community Waste Disposal has begun a five‑year contract to provide trash and recycling services for the City of Van Alstyne and will start door‑side household hazardous‑waste collection for city residents in July, a company representative said.
The representative said CWD intends to act “more of a community partner than we are just your vendor,” adding the firm aims to “build a long‑term relation” with the city and remain visible at local events and council meetings. The company emphasized local ownership and North Texas operations as reasons it can respond more quickly to problems than larger, corporate providers.
On the new household hazardous‑waste (HHW) program, the company said it will provide doorside pickup and hold larger “extreme gear” collection events that bring trucks into town. The presenter said the company is TCQ certified to store HHW materials at its property until disposal and encouraged residents to use the service for old paint, chemicals and fertilizers. “Starting in July, they'll be picking it up right at your door,” the representative said.
The company also described a paint‑reuse program: collected paint is filtered and repackaged into gallon and five‑gallon buckets that participating cities can distribute to residents for free. The presenter said the program has redistributed about 15,000 gallons of paint year to date.
Residents were told they can call CWD’s customer service line to reschedule missed pickups and that the company provides live phone support. The firm also highlighted a mobile app (available on Google and Apple stores) that displays pickup days, storm‑debris guidance and instructions for bulk items.
During a segment that referenced an employee named JB, the presenter said the company’s local ownership and shorter chains of command helped staff “cut through the BS to get what needs to get done” during the transition after council approval. The company said it has been in ongoing communication with city staff since the council approved the contract to ensure timely, accurate information for residents.
