Denison, TX bulk trash and dump fees: what the city charges per yard
Denison doesn't hand residents an open dump gate. The city collects curbside bulk six times a year, and anything outside that schedule is billed by the cubic yard. That per-yard price is the number to compare against a dumpster, because it makes the break-even easy to calculate — and construction debris isn't accepted at any price.
The short answer
Six scheduled bulk collections per year at no extra charge
Out-of-cycle scheduled pickup: $17.25 per cubic yard
Forced/unscheduled pickup: $34.50 per cubic yard
Construction debris is not accepted — a roll-off is the only option

The math in Denison is unusually clean: at $17.25 per cubic yard, roughly 22 cubic yards of accepted material costs about the same as our flat $375 three-day 16-yard rental — and if any of your pile is construction debris, the city won't take it regardless of price.
We're family-run out of Honey Grove and deliver 16-yard roll-offs across Grayson County — usually same or next day. Flat $375 for 3 days, delivery, pickup and 2 tons of disposal included. The bin is low-walled and driveway-sized, so you walk debris in instead of lifting it over your tailgate.
