Recycling
Recycling is also offered in our neighborhood and we encourage you to participate in this important program.
Several changes were made to the recycling program in late 2005. These changes have increased the types of items which may be recycled and have made the process a bit more convenient for us.
It is no longer necessary to separate recyclables by type. You may place all your recyclable items in the Big Blue Roll Cart. Your items will be picked up, either curb-side or in your alley on Monday. Be sure to have your recyclables out before 7:00 am.
Items accepted for recycle pick up include:
Paper
Paperboard
White & colored office paper
Junk mail
Milk cartons and drink boxes
Telephone books
Newspaper & brown paper bags
Corrugated cardboard
Magazines & catalogs
Plastic
#1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #7 plastic bottles and jugs
Glass
Colored and clear glass
Aluminum & Other Metals
Steel, tin, & aluminum cans
Please wash out plastic and glass containers and only submit the recyclable items mentioned above. Hazardous chemical containers should not be recycled. If your items are too dirty or not on the list of approved materials, they will simply be discarded.
For more information, please visit the sanitation section of the City of Dallas Website.
