Illegal Dumping

Illegal dumping is everyone's problem. Litter, tires and other trash must be disposed of properly in the City of Irving.

Penalties

Illegal dumping is a serious offense. Depending on the circumstances, individuals caught illegally dumping can face charges ranging from a Class C misdemeanor to a state jail felony. These charges come with significant fines and, in some cases, potential jail time.


Residents and businesses should report illegal dumping by calling the Police non-emergency line at (972) 273-1010 or through the online Report A Concern portal.

However, Irving residents can take up to four (4) passenger car tires per year to the Hunter Ferrell Landfill, 110 E. Hunter Ferrell Road, free of charge. Additional tires are accepted for a fee of $5 per tire.


  1. Tractor-trailer and 18-wheeler tires are not accepted.

Bulky Debris

Large, bulky items are collected curbside on the same day as regular trash pickup and curbside recycling.


Irving residents have free access to drop off limited items weighing less than 150 pounds at the Hunter Ferrell Landfill. To access the landfill for free, residents must provide identification (driver's license, state identification card, etc.) and an Irving utility bill with a matching address.


  1. Standard landfill fees apply to construction and demolition debris.

Alleys

Responsibility for clean alleys depends on the ownership:

  1. If the alley is city-owned, the Municipal Drainage Utility (MDU) team handles the cleanup.
  2. If the alley is privately owned, the property owner(s) are responsible for removal, as enforced by Irving Code Enforcement.
