Every owner, occupant, tenant, or lessee of any business, commercial, or institutional property not entitled to receive residential refuse collection service shall be required to have commercial solid waste collection service provided by the City of Gainesville. The State of Texas Health and Safety Code requires putrescible (food) waste collection at least once per week. The Commercial Solid Waste Division provides containers and roll-off service.
Deposits are required for temporary containers.
Container Weight and Volume Restrictions
Customers shall not overload containers. Containers judged to be overweight would not be emptied. If weight concerns or questions arise, please call the General Services Department at (940)668-4551 for recommended container sizes. Contents in Roll-Off containers must weigh a maximum weight of 18,000 pounds per cubic yard. If the container is judged to be overweight by Solid Waste Commercial Division personnel, prior to being emptied, the customer must remove a portion of the contents of the containers from the container. Once the customer has removed a portion of the contents and the weight is judged to be within acceptable limits by Solid Waste Commercial Division personnel, the container will be emptied.
Service Agreement
All roll-off customers are required to have a service agreement. The agreement contains details regarding service. All containers are owned by the City and leased to the customer. The container(s) is (are) in the care, custody, and control of the customer. Customers assume responsibility for damage to or loss of the leased container(s), other than for fair wear and tear.
Container Placement Requirements
It is the customer’s responsibility to provide an accessible location for the container(s). An accessible location means a location that provides the collection truck safe access to the container(s), provides adequate clearance to safely empty the container(s), and provides a safe exit route from the premises at all times.
Minimum Clearance
Roll-off trucks must have 50 feet of straight clear access to approach and engage the container. All containers sites must have a minimum height clearance of 25 feet.
