Bins:
Do I have to have a bin enclosure before I can get a bin?
If you need the bin delivered with in the City of Mesquite you will need a bin enclosure before you can get a bin delivered. There is one exception to this rule, if you are building and have a building permit you can have a bin delivered to your address until you get your C of O (Certificate of Occupancy). If you want to have a temporary bin delivered for special clean-ups you will not need a bin enclosure but you will only be able to have the bin a short time (Two weeks max)
If you live in a location other than the City you do not need a bin enclosure, if for some reason you feel you want a bin enclosure, prior approval of the location will be needed. Please refer to our <a style="color: #0000ff;" Code Section for further details.
Can my front-load bins have wheels?
Yes, but the bins will need to be place back in the same location each time they are serviced. If you wish to add wheels to your bins you will pay much more to have your bins serviced. We highly recommend you avoid wheels on your bins to keep your refuse bill as low as possible. We will only place wheels on bins up to 3 cubic yards.
What’s the difference between front-load and roll-off bins?
-
Front-load type bins are individual bins that set at your site and are serviced as scheduled. These types of bins never leave your site until you are finished using the bins. These bins are serviced with a large truck that picks them up and lifts them over the top of the truck and dumps the bins in the hopper of the truck.
-
Roll-off type bins are bins that are delivered to your site and are serviced as scheduled. These types of bins are removed from your location each time you need them serviced. These bins are serviced with a large truck that rolls the bins on the truck and is then taken to the landfill to be dumped. After dumping they are returned to your site until they are full or you are finished and then they are dumped and removed.
