Effective Oct. 1, the price of trash and recycling bags sold by the City of Irving will increase due to higher production costs. The price increases are a result of increasing resin costs from the material supplier of the city’s bag vendor. The new price includes sales tax.
NEW TRASH AND RECYCLING BAG PRICING
- Heavy-duty black trash bags, 50-count roll | $10
- Heavy-duty blue recycling bags, 50-count roll | $15
Trash and recycling bags will continue to be available for purchase using cash, credit or debit card at the vending machine at City Hall, 825 W. Irving Blvd. The vending machine is located to the left of Customer Service on the first floor. In addition, residents can still purchase the bags from Customer Service. Recycling bags also are for sale at Irving recreation centers.
