Texas taxes junk removal as a service — you'll need a sales-tax permit and to collect it (residential and commercial).

Garbage/junk removal is a taxable service in Texas (Tax Code §151.0101). You need a Texas sales-tax permit and must collect state + local tax, sourced to the pickup address — residential and commercial alike. You can't advertise "no tax."
Dallas City Code Chapter 18 requires a solid-waste collection license to collect from commercial, apartment, and institutional accounts, with liability + fleet insurance. Confirm scope with Dallas Sanitation before you start.
