Dallas 311
For many non-emergency issues, 311 is a resident's most important resource. In addition to the number, Dallas has developed the Dallas 311 app. The app lets residents report non-emergency issues directly to the City of Dallas. You can report concerns like potholes, graffiti, and broken streetlights right from your phone. The app allows you to upload photos, pinpoint the issue's location, and track the request's status. It’s an easy way to ensure community problems are addressed promptly, helping keep our neighborhood clean and well-maintained. Whether it’s illegal dumping or bulk trash pickup, the Dallas 311 app makes it simple to connect with city services and improve our neighborhood.
Dallas Sanitation Services
Keeping track of our sanitation is also important. Stay on top of your trash pickup with the Dallas Sanitation app. Easily track collection schedules, set reminders, and access important updates to ensure your waste is managed efficiently. Never miss a pickup and help keep Dallas clean.
