Let's keep our neighborhood clean! Here are a few tips:
Bag and tie all garbage so trash doesn't fall out into the street on collection day. Pick up any trash that may end up on your street or in your yard. Know what can and cannot go in the recycling bins. Follow the schedule for bulky waste pickups in your particular area. (so your pink toilet doesn't sit on the curb for three weeks ....) Cease the Grease! Dispose of bacon grease and cooking oil in the trash, not down the sink. Large amounts can be dropped off at the Fort Worth Environmental Collection Center at 6400 Bridge Street. Clogged pipes can be costly, to you and to the city. Sweep the leaves out of your street gutter. Heavy rains can move those leaves down the drains, into our stormwater pipes and cause backups and flooding to homes located near the drains. Report blocked storm drains to 817-392-8100. Trash violations: 817-392-EASY (3279) email: Trash@fortworthgov.org Graffiti: Here are some quick links to the City website: Bulky waste pickup schedule Trash drop-off stations (otherwise known as dumps) Household hazardous waste The Environmental Collection Center 6400 Bridge Street Fort Worth, Texas 817-871-5257 The ECC accepts Acids, aerosol cans, antifreeze, batteries (all kinds, including car batteries), brake fluid, cooking oil, craft chemicals, degreasers, drain cleaner, fertilizer, fluorescent light bulbs, compact flourescent light bulbs (CFLs), herbicides, household chemicals, motor oil, paints & stains, paint thinners, pest strips, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, photo chemicals, pool chemicals, oil filters, solvents, transmission fluid and varnish. ============== CODE RANGER PROGRAM:
