In the very large community of Pecan Plantation we have garbage trucks that come by every tuesday morning. For a gated community the size of granbury’s population every family brings a lot of trash to the curb every tuesday. Throught granbury there are many places that residents can take their recycling to in order to dispose of it properly.
