Frisco residents will soon see a 10% rate reduction in trash and recycling rates. 

Breaking it down: During an Aug. 18 meeting, the Frisco City Council approved a new, 10-year contract with Waste Connection Lone Star to keep the solid waste disposal company’s services in Frisco through 2037. 

With the new rates, Frisco residents’ rates will decrease in the first year from $15.39 to $13.85 per month, according to city documents. Waste Connection Lone Star will purchase new residential and commercial trash and recycling bins within the city by the end of 2027. 

Here is the real estate data for Frisco from July 2025 to July 2026.

What you need to know: The data includes number of homes sold, median home sales price, average days on the market, number of new listings and more.

In the area, 222 homes were sold with a majority of those homes sold in the $400,001-$700,000 price range. The total is down from the year before, which saw 237 homes sold.

The Texas House State Affairs Committee heard from power grid officials; data center developers and industry representatives; local government officials; cybersecurity experts; landowners and residents during an Aug. 19 hearing on the growth of data centers.

The details: Some Texans expressed concerns that data center development is happening too quickly and communities do not have enough say in that growth.

"The question is always going to be who pays for this infrastructure as we continue to grow," San Marcos City Council Member Amanda Rodriquez said.

Data center developers, meanwhile, emphasized that they wanted to be “teammates and partners” to residents of the communities they build in.

One more thing: Testimony on data centers was limited to six hours as the committee began discussing plans to build large high-voltage transmission lines from East to West Texas.

"I don't want anybody to think this is our last time that we're going to talk about data centers, or that you’re not going to get another opportunity to talk about data centers," committee chair Rep. Ken King, R-Canadian, said.
