Quicklinks

Drop-off Stations

Drop-off stations are open to Fort Worth homeowners and some renters for disposal of trash, brush and recyclables. To use a drop-off station, show a recent Fort Worth water bill or current driver’s license with a Fort Worth address to prove you have an active sanitation account. Renters with a Fort Worth address may use drop-off stations if they have a current Fort Worth water bill. Apartment renters may use the stations for recyclables only.

Drop-off Stations will accept the following materials:

  • Bagged garbage
  • Recyclables
  • Bulky trash
  • Brush
  • Yard trimmings
  • Tires (limit four per household every six months)
  • Old furniture
  • Minor remodeling debris
  • Appliances such as refrigerators and air conditioners that do/do not contain Freon® or other coolants
  • Appliances that do not contain gasoline or oil
  • Electronics and computers (including televisions - limit two every six months)

If you need to dispose of an item not specifically listed above, call 817-392-EASY(3279) for more information.

Restrictions

  • Single-axle trailers only. No dual-axle trailers allowed at the drop-off stations.
  • No commercial or business waste
  • No landlord waste from rental properties
  • No concrete, rock, dirt and ceramic tile
  • No explosives or ammunition
  • Landscapers and contractors must dispose of waste at a permitted disposal site.
  • Residents must unload their own materials and place them in the appropriate waste container.

Hazardous Waste

Citizens can dispose of leftover household chemicals such as motor oil, paint, cleaning products, antifreeze and pesticides for free at the Environmental Collection Center.

Free Mulch

Fort Worth residents may pick up free mulch at any of the three drop-off stations. Piles are clearly labeled, and are self-serve. Bring a sturdy container and a shovel. If you use a pickup truck, you must use a tarp to cover the load to prevent litter while driving. Mulch is an excellent addition to any landscape. It protects plants from temperature extremes, deters weed growth and helps retain moisture so you can water less often.
