Recyclable materials include: newspapers, magazines, telephone books, household paper products, junk mail, cereal boxes, cardboard, aluminum cans, steel/tin cans, glass bottles #1 and #2 plastic bottles and containers (HDPE & PET).

No sorting is necessary.  Please do not include the following items in your recycled material: motor oil, cooking oil, antifreeze, paint cans, pesticide containers, packaging materials contaminated with food or grease, automotive batteries, or other hazardous materials.

Larger quantities of brush are picked up at the curb (not in the alley) once a month according to the map. Week 1 begins the first Monday of the month.

Brush need not be bundled, but must not exceed 4-foot lengths or branches over 6 inches in diameter. Do not place brush on water meters or under power/telephone lines. Residents may place up to 10 cubic yards (size of a small car).

Brush resulting from work done by a commercial service provider will not be picked up. Tires, hazardous waste, commercial waste or construction debris will not be picked up.

For amounts over 10 yards, please contact Waste Management at 972.315.5400 to negotiate a pickup charge.
Grass clippings
The City discourages residents from bagging grass clippings. Studies have shown that during the peak growing season yard trimmings account for over 25% of municipal solid waste going into landfills.
