Recycling Guidelines

Bulk & Brush Collection

Bulky waste and brush will be collected on your regular trash pickup days. You are limited to four cubic yards of bulky waste and loose brush per collection. Tied and bundled brush may be set out in unlimited quantities.

Important! CWD does not provide pickup for commercial demolition, construction, nor remodeling debris. Household debris must be containerized to be eligible for pickup. The box or other disposable container must be no larger than 2′ x 2′ x 4′ and weigh no more than 50 pounds.

Place all bulky waste and brush items next to your trash receptacle no later than 7:00 a.m. on your designated trash pickup days.

Brush

Tree limbs must be placed with trunks parallel to the street without obstructing the sidewalk. Individual items or bundles must weigh less than 50 pounds, and be no longer than 10 feet.

Seasonal Leaf Recycling

Seasonal Leaf Recycling dates are determined annually. Please watch this space for updates.

To participate, set out leaves in bags on the designated collection days. Food waste and any unnatural or foreign debris are prohibited.

The collections begin at 8 a.m. CWD will also pick up and recycle Christmas trees on the special collection day in January. Residents are asked to not enclose the tree in a plastic sack or bag and to remove all tinsel, stands, and tree decorations.

To participate, residents just need to set out leaves on the designated collection days. If leaf bags are set out prior to the Saturday collections, residents are asked to place leaf bags separately from household trash (to ensure household trash is not missed for regular service). Regular rear-load garbage trucks will be used for these special collection days. With that in mind, residents should be aware of and comply with their Homeowner Association’s policies.

Household Hazardous Waste & Used Electronics Door-side Collection

CWD’s Door-side Collection program encourages safe, easy, and responsible disposal of approved hazardous waste and electronics. This service is provided for Colleyville residents up to once a month, and is included in your regular monthly trash and recycling charge.  Items accepted via the HHW & Used Electronics Door-side Collection program include poison, solvent, oil-based and latex paint, aerosols, used motor oil, auto batteries, fluorescent tubes, and televisions.

HHW & Used Electronics collection days are the first and third Fridays of each month.  To schedule, please call no later than the 15th of the month prior.

How to Prepare for your HHW Collection

  1. Call CWD at 972.392.9300/Option 2, at least two weeks in advance.
  2. CWD will mail you a collection kit.
  3. Assemble your HHW according to the instructions provided.
  4. Place your HHW at your doorstep, where CWD will pick it up on the first or third Friday of the month.

Bags must be placed near your entrance door, garage, or another area IN FRONT OF YOUR HOME. Do NOT place HHW curbside. Please ensure your HHW is visible from the street.

  • Do not overfill the bag.
  • Only the bag provided to you may be used.

  • Do not drag the bag.

CartWash

Make your recycling cart look like new! Our state-of-the-art pressure washing process will have your recycling cart clean and germ-free inside and out. Our system is environmentally friendly and kills more than 99.9% of germs, fungi and viruses.

The Process

STEP ONE: Call CWD so that you can be added to the CartWash schedule.

STEP TWO: Prior to your scheduled CartWash, remove any recyclables from your cart and place your empty cart at the curb.

STEP THREE: Upon arrival, CartWash personnel will take the empty cart to the rear of the CartWash cleaning truck. A hydraulic lifting mechanism will lift the container, placing it over a specially designed pressure washing machine. The pressure head rotates at high speed in all directions and effectively blasts any debris inside the container. The Hydro-Chem system heats the water to more than 200 degrees, which is then captured inside the truck so that it does not go down your drains. The outside of your cart will simultaneously be pressure washed by a CartWash employee.

STEP FOUR: After the cart cleaning process, the hydraulic lift returns the container back to the location from where it was picked up. The cart will then be fresh, clean, and ready for future use.

The Benefits

CartWash uses a hypoallergenic solution that has a naturally pleasant scent and does not employ chemical fragrances. Our mobile units are environmentally friendly and employ practices that do not leave debris nor runoff water behind.

Frequent cleaning of your recycling cart will reduce the risk of infection and hazards from viruses such as E-Coli, Salmonella and Listeria. Our all-natural solvents kill 99.9% of germs and fungi, as well as viruses.

Our self-contained cleaning system complies with all EPA regulations and is environmentally friendly.
