Change to Best Trash from GFL for Trash Collection
This announcement affects all residents in West Oaks Village and Twin Oaks Village.
Big Oaks M.U.D. is excited to announce a new partnership with Best Trash for all of its Waste and Recycling needs effective March 1, 2026. This partnership with Best Trash continues to emphasize Big Oaks District’s focus on excellent customer service to all of our residents through our various consultants.
The change from GFL to Best Trash was much needed. Many factors were taken into consideration on this decision:
- Reliable and consistent service: Best Trash dedicates a 3-person crew for every truck ensuring safe and efficient collection every time. All collection will be manual. Best Trash trucks do not use the mechanical lift arms used by GFL.
- Convenience for Residents: Best Trash provides personalized service with curbside collection of bags and bulky items every service day as well as assistance to residents who are unable to place trash or recycle cans at curbside. Valet services for the handicapped or elderly residents can be requested by emailing support@besttrashtexas.com.
- Comprehensive Recycle: Best Trash recycling now includes pick up of glass, making it easier for residents to dispose of more materials responsibly and make for a greener community. Please refer to the recycle guidelines for more information.
- Community Safety and Accessibility: Best Trash 3-man crews can handle those hard-to-reach pickup spots in cul-de-sacs and around parked cars ensuring that no trash goes uncollected.
Trash and recycling days for West Oaks Village and Twin Oaks Village will remain the same – every Wednesday and Saturday (with exceptions for Holidays) so there isn’t a change to the service schedule for our residents.
