Frontier Waste Solutions in Texas — Waste Franchise & Dumpster Restriction Tracker

These 3 Texas cities are tracked as having Frontier Waste Solutions as the waste contractor or exclusive franchise holder, according to the sources on each city page. For each city we track whether temporary construction roll-off dumpsters appear to be included, the franchise fee, the relevant ordinance, and the source documents. This is not a claim that Frontier Waste Solutions has acted unlawfully; always verify current requirements with the city.

RestrictedConfirmed by ordinance

McKinney, Texas

Collin County · Frontier Waste Solutions (residential, exclusive); construction/commercial roll-offs allowed via city permit

An operator reports that McKinney, Texas forced removal of the operator’s containers from job sites and private residences, sometimes threatening customers with fines. The exact ordinance and any exclusive or approved-hauler arrangement still need verification.

Exclusive MarketConfirmed by contract

Mineral Wells, Texas

Palo Pinto County · Frontier Waste Solutions (exclusive franchise since March 1, 2022)

Mineral Wells awarded an exclusive city-wide solid waste franchise to Frontier Waste Solutions effective March 1, 2022, covering all hauling in the city including roll-off. An operator reports that the city threatened to fine customers $400 per day for using anyone other than Frontier, that a city official explained the city is paid by Frontier to cover road repairs, that the city refused the operator’s offer to pay an annual fee, and that an official said he couldn’t authorize the operator to keep working but that the city wasn’t “necessarily” enforcing — leaving customers in fear of fines and costing the operator business.
