The City contracts with Waste Management (WM) for all collection services (trash/recycling/brush/bulk) and WM has an exclusive right to provide these services in Cedar Hill. Residential customers are billed monthly through the utility bill. Commercial customers are billed directly by Waste Management in which any inquiries regarding a commercial utility account should contact Waste Management directly at 972-315-5400.
