Trash and Recycling Collection
Community Waste Disposal (CWD) provides trash collection (Mondays and Thursdays) and curbside recycling (Thursdays). Service may be skipped or delayed if it falls on or around New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day (4th of July), Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, or Christmas Day.
Trash must be placed in disposable bags not weighing more than 50 (fifty) pounds each and placed at the curb no later than 7:00 a.m. for service between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. Please do not put trash out the night before.
All recyclables must be empty, clean, and dry, and placed loosely inside the blue recycle cart. Do not bag recyclables. Please ensure the recycling cart is at least three feet (3') away from obstacles such as bagged trash, mailboxes, cars, fences, gas meters, and drainage ditches. Position the cart where the driveway meets the street, with wheels toward the residence.
Please place the following loosely (not bagged or sorted) in your recycling cart, as long as they are empty, clean, and dry:
Questions or Concerns?
Common questions are answered in the service brochure. Watch for service information and updates here, on Facebook and Instagram, in the newsletter, and via codeRED. CWD is happy to assist you with questions, concerns, cart repair or replacement, and damages or spills. There are several ways to reach their customer service department:
Bulky Items and Yard Waste
On any of your regular trash collection days, you can dispose of up to one cubic yard (roughly the size of a washing machine) of bulky waste. No single item should exceed 150 (one-hundred-fifty) pounds. Place bulky items and bundled brush curbside (at least three feet (3') from any obstacle including your recycling cart). Brush must be tied and bundled and must not exceed four feet by two feet (4' x 2') nor weigh more than 50 (fifty) pounds per bundle. Never blow leaves or grass clippings into public streets, sidewalks, or storm drains (§13.07.006). We recommend mulching back onto your lawn, composting, or bagging for disposal by CWD.
For items or loads exceeding the above limits, call 972-392-9300 for a quote. Or, watch the calendar and newsletter for clean-up events (usually in April and October) when dumpsters are placed at Town Hall for our residents. These cleanups are a great opportunity to remove any limbs that overhang the street. Such limbs are prohibited because of their ability to impede or cause costly damage to fire trucks. No branch or growth can overhang a street lower than fourteen feet (14') or a sidewalk lower than seven feet (7') (§12.08.004).
Acceptable Bulky Waste

Free Landfill Voucher
Residents can request one (1) voucher per calendar year that allows a free visit to the landfill to drop off bulky waste like furniture, carpeting, or yard waste. The Arlington Landfill is located at 800 Mosier Valley Road in Euless and the hours of operation are Monday through Saturday, from 7:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. They are closed on Sundays. Stop by Town Hall (1614 S Bowen Road) with a valid driver’s license (or another state-issued ID card) to request yours.

CWD’s Door-side Collection program encourages safe, easy, and responsible disposal of approved hazardous waste and electronics by placing them in special bags which are collected on the third Wednesday of each month. Items accepted include poison, solvent, oil-based and latex paint, aerosols, used motor oil, auto batteries, fluorescent tubes, and televisions.
