Big changes are rolling out—literally! The City of Celina is transitioning its residential trash and recycling services from Waste Connections to Community Waste Disposal (CWD). This move aims to enhance service reliability, improve recycling efficiency, and provide residents with a smoother waste collection experience. Here’s what you need to know about the transition process, important dates, and what to expect next.
Cart Swap Schedule: Now Through November 21
The transition began earlier this month with the replacement of old Waste Connections carts. Crews are currently moving through neighborhoods to collect the old bins and deliver new CWD carts. Residents are asked to leave both their trash and recycling carts out on their designated collection days—whether they’re full or empty—to ensure a smooth swap.
If you notice your carts have not yet been switched, don’t worry. The process will continue through November 21, and the city encourages residents to remain patient as teams work their way across all service areas.
Official Takeover: December 1, 20XX
Mark your calendars! Community Waste Disposal will officially begin service on December 1. Starting that day, all trash and recycling pickups will be handled by CWD. The company brings a reputation for dependable service and strong customer communication, aligning with the city’s goal of maintaining a clean, sustainable, and well-managed community.
What Residents Should Do
- Set out both old and new carts until the swap is complete.
- Label your carts clearly if you share space with neighbors, to avoid mix-ups.
- Check the city’s website or social media pages for updates on your neighborhood’s pickup schedule.
- Once CWD carts are delivered, begin using them immediately and discontinue use of the old Waste Connections bins.
Why the Change?
This transition is part of Celina’s ongoing effort to provide better municipal services as the city continues to grow. By partnering with CWD, the city aims to enhance recycling programs, improve customer service, and support sustainability goals.

Change can be messy—but with this new partnership, Celina is paving the way for a cleaner, more efficient future!
