2City curbside pickup in Balch Springs
Balch Springs’s own collection service takes the mattress from outside your home. You normally have to book a date in advance and follow their wrapping rules.
City of Balch Springs monthly bulk and brush collection
Balch Springs residential customers. Use of the city service is compulsory under Chapter 62 of the code - "All residential and commercial establishments with water service within the city service area shall be required to use the waste disposal services offered directly by the city" - and an active water or sewer account constitutes an active garbage account whether or not the resident uses it. Since February 1, 2026 the city has been split into four bulk zones, each collected in one week of the month. Collection is by Frontier Waste Solutions, (469) 444-1555; the city is at (972) 286-4477.
Conditions and source
Frontier collects bulk and brush once a month with a combined limit of eight cubic yards, and the schedule states "Please have ALL BULK ready for collection by 7:00AM on the Monday of your collection week." Individual bulky items must be light enough for one person to load into the vehicle; branches and limbs are limited to six inches in diameter and 35 lbs, and under the code limbs and brush must be bundled to no more than 72 inches and 40 pounds. Frontier's prohibited bulk list is construction materials, dirt, stumps, batteries, tires, pressurised tanks, oils, paint, chemicals and appliances containing refrigerants. Frontier's own list does not name a mattress, but the city's code does: Section 62-1 defines "Rubbish" to include "used and discarded mattresses", and defines bulky wastes as "items easily managed by two men" not exceeding four foot by four foot by eight foot. The code's "take all service" provides that "Bulky items including stoves, furniture, water heaters, dishwashers, etc., when placed on the curb will be picked up on a city-approved day." Section 62-6(c) sets the container set-out window - nothing at the curb line earlier than 8:00 p.m. the day before or later than 8:00 a.m. the day after collection - and 62-6(d) bars containers and brush from the street, the sidewalk or anywhere obstructing traffic. Trash is collected twice a week and recycling weekly.
Not confirmed: Frontier's accepted bulk list does not name mattresses although the city's code does, and the two have not been reconciled in public
Not confirmed: Section 62-7 of the code still sets bi-weekly collection at ten cubic yards of loose brush and four cubic yards of bulky waste, which does not match the monthly eight-cubic-yard combined limit Frontier has run since February 1, 2026; it is not established which governs a resident's set-out
Not confirmed: The Master Fee Schedule rate at which the city removes an over-limit pile is not published in the code and was not established
Not confirmed: Whether bulk material is recycled or landfilled is not stated
