How soon after annexation would solid waste collection service be provided?
The city is required to provide solid waste collection immediately upon annexation. However, if a private waste-collection company presently serves an annexed area, the private service may continue for a period of up to two years after annexation. In order to secure solid waste collection service following annexation, a utility account must be established with the City of McKinney. Cost for solid waste collection is billed on a monthly basis for both residential and commercial customers. Questions regarding solid waste collection should be directed to Utility Billing at 972-547-7550.
