Residents can also use the Custer Road Transfer Station in Plano. Frisco Environmental Services is at 972-292-5900.

All of Frisco, plus Prosper, Plano, McKinney, Little Elm, The Colony and Allen.

Hand pruning from the ground on a small tree, yes. Anything involving a ladder, a chainsaw overhead, a limb over a structure or a nearby wire is a job for a crew with the equipment.
