Greenville, Texas Waste Franchise & Dumpster Restriction Tracker

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).

• According to a field report and a submitted City of Greenville “Notice of Violation,” the city posted a notice citing Solid Waste Container Ordinance § 28.11.848, declaring an independent company’s container “unauthorized and subject to removal” and giving 48 hours (remove-by 1/4/2024, 9:30 AM) before the city would remove and impound it.
• The field report further alleges the company was contacted by Blackjack — the city’s exclusive franchise holder — and warned it could be sued for $20,000, and that the city impounded the company’s roll-off dumpster from private property using a private tow company (Benson Bros. Wrecker Services, Inc.), with a reported $400 tow fee and an additional $306 recovery fee. The impound is documented in submitted video. The dollar amounts and phone-call allegation need independent verification.
• According to a small-claims petition filed January 16, 2025 in the Hunt County Justice Court (Precinct 1, Place 2; Case No. 12SC25B0003), the city’s exclusive franchise hauler — BlackJack Disposal (Doliver Enterprises, LLC) — sued an independent roll-off dumpster operator for $6,066. The petition alleges the operator violated Greenville’s Solid Waste Franchise Ordinance on nine occasions by delivering dumpsters inside the city limits, and that the city “tagged” those dumpsters as being in violation. The petition states that BlackJack “holds the exclusive franchise for solid waste hauling in the city limits of Greenville” and that a city ordinance “prohibits non-franchised solid waste haulers from operating inside the city limits.” The outcome of the case is pending verification. (BlackJack Disposal was acquired by Best Trash in late 2025.) The independent operator is a Texas Waste Freedom Project reporting source and is kept anonymous; the operator’s name and contact details are redacted from the hosted court documents.
