Recyclable Materials

The City recommends labels be removed and containers be rinsed of food and drink before placing in recycling containers. Crushing plastics containers and cans saves space and money, but broken glass is not recyclable.

Paper Products

Newspapers, flattened box board, catalogs, junk mail, magazines, phone books, and office paper can either be put into PAPER sacks, or tied in bundles weighing 50 pounds or less. Paper bags are available at checkout in most grocery stores.

Place the paper products to be recycled in paper bags, in bundles at the curb next to any blue recycling bags, or in the blue recycling bags by 7 a.m. on your scheduled day.

Plastic Bottles

Numbers 1,2,3,4,5 and 7 (on the bottom of plastics, there is a triangle with the number inside). Number 6 is not accepted at this time. Please flatten bottles and plastic containers to conserve space.

Unbroken Glass Bottles and Jars

Clear, brown, green bottles and jars only. Blue is not recyclable.

Steel/Tin Food and Drink Cans

Examples include soup cans, pet food cans, and tuna fish cans. Please place the top inside the can and squeeze the open end of the can closed.

Aluminum Cans

An example is a soda can. Please note that aluminum foil and pie plates are not acceptable.

Corrugated cardboard

Boxes must be broken down and flattened into pieces no larger than 2 ft. x 4 ft. If there are several pieces, please tie together into a bundle. Bundles must weigh less than 50 lbs.

Box board

Lightweight containers such as cereal boxes, tissue boxes and other packages should be broken down, flattened and placed into paper sacks or tied into bundles with your other paper items.

Single Family Curb Side Program

Euless single-family recycling program provides once a week curbside pickup service. Residents receive initial service/billing information from the Water Office @ 817-685-1471, in the Euless Municipal Complex at 201 N. Ector Drive. Senior Citizens (65 & over) may request a discounted rate at the Water Office.

The City is divided into zones and depending on location, service is provided once a week on Tuesdays, Thursdays, or Fridays. Place the bags and/or bundles at your curb by 7:00 A.M. on your specified pick-up day.

Euless has a BLUE RECYCLING BAG program for recycling plastic containers, glass bottles, and cans (aluminum, steel, and tin). Blue recycling bags are made of a special plastic that is also recyclable. They are available for purchase at Home Depot, Euless grocery stores, and Target.

Multi-Family Complex Recycling Program

Euless residents who live in multi-family complexes that participate in the recycling program, can recycle materials including: paper goods, corrugated cardboard, and glass, plastic bottles, and metal cans in receptacles on the complex property site.

The only fee is a monthly fee per unit that each multifamily complex pays to the City whether or not it participates in the program.

Participating multi-family complexes will be using single-stream recycling dumpsters to collect the recyclable materials previously separated into paper containers and glass, metal, plastic containers.

When a recycling container is full, property management calls Community Waste Disposal at 817-795-9300 to exchange out an empty container. There is no charge for the exchange.

Multi-family residents can dispose of Hazardous Household Materials at the City's spring or fall collections or at the Environmental Collection Center (ECC) on 6400 Bridge Street in Fort Worth. The City is assessed a fee for each participating household, but there is no drop-off fee, but proof of Euless residency is required. (Current utility bill is preferred.)
