The City of Killeen Solid Waste Division provides municipal garbage collection, disposal and container services for all residential and commercial establishments in Killeen.
The Solid Waste Division is divided into five operations:
Residential Services
The City of Killeen provides once per week residential garbage collection to approximately 47,000 households. Customers can choose from 96 gallon, 64 gallon, or 32 gallon containers.
