Always verify current requirements with the city.
Greenville, Texas
According to the City of Greenville’s 2023 solid waste contract with Blackjack Disposal, the contractor holds exclusive rights — reportedly including construction and demolition debris from construction and remodeling. A field report submitted to this database alleges that an independent dumpster company was cited, warned it could be sued for $20,000, and had its dumpster towed from private property and impounded for recovery fees. The contract confirms the exclusive arrangement; the specific enforcement allegations still need independent verification. In a notable enforcement action, the city’s exclusive franchise hauler (BlackJack Disposal) filed a $6,066 small-claims lawsuit in January 2025 against an independent operator, alleging nine violations of Greenville’s franchise ordinance (Hunt County JP Ct. No. 12SC25B0003; outcome pending verification).
View details →Quinlan, Texas
The City of Quinlan (Hunt County) requires every household and business inside the city limits to subscribe to the city's solid waste contractor, according to section 13.03.001(a) of its Code of Ordinances, and provides that only containers supplied by the city or its authorized agent may be used. Sanitation Solutions, Inc. publishes a Quinlan residential service page matching the city's published collection schedule. The code is not one-directional on construction work, however: section 13.03.006(b) expressly excepts a dumpster "utilized on a temporary basis in connection with construction or remodeling dwellings" from the residential dumpster prohibition, and section 13.03.004(a) places responsibility for construction and demolition debris on the property owner rather than the city. Whether an independent hauler may place that temporary roll-off appears to turn on the "[u]nless authorized by the city" language in section 13.03.007, which the code does not further explain. An operator reports that a city employee demanded same-day removal of a temporary dumpster and threatened to impound it, and then contacted the property owner with the same demand; that account is operator-reported and has not been confirmed by the city.
