Garbage Collection

How do I begin receiving garbage collection service?
For residential service, contact City Hall at 817-389-3539, or in person at 200 W. Railroad St. Garbage service is setup when a water account is activated.
Service will be billed monthly from either the City of Godley or Johnson County Special Utility District depending on who supplies your water service.
For commercial service, contact Frontier Waste Solutions directly at 888-854-2905.
What are my garbage collection days?
Residential collection occurs on Friday unless it is a holiday or due to bad weather. Commercial collection occurs on Monday and Thursday. Residential bulk trash collection is always the last Wednesday of the month.
