Yard Waste Program

Yard waste collection is available twice weekly. If prepared correctly, materials placed curbside on your first service day of the week will be collected by a separate CWD truck and taken to a compost facility. All items collected on your second service day will go to the landfill.

Loose brush in any amount will not be collected. Brush must be tied in bundles of 4 feet or shorter, weighing no more than 50 lbs. Leaves and lawn trimmings must be bagged. Households are limited to 20 bags/bundles per collection day. To keep spillage to a minimum, please ensure the weight of the contents is suitable for the bag/carton it is placed in.

Use biodegradable bags and/or biodegradable cotton/jute rope, twine, or string on your first service day to send materials to the compost facility. Do not bundle tree and brush trimmings with nylon rope, plastic, metal, garden hoses, or other non-compostable materials.

Use plastic bags to send materials to the landfill.

Seasonal Leaf Collection

Keller has a lot of trees, and that means a lot of leaves! To better accommodate residents, CWD offers a special leaf collection program several Saturdays each fall/winter to help manage the high volume of leaves. Specific dates are determined annually.

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 used electronics. This service is provided for Keller 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 are listed here.

How to Prepare for your HHW & Used Electronics Collection

  1. Call CWD at 817.795.9300 at least two weeks in advance, and request Door-side Collection service.
  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.

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.
  • Bag must be closed securely.
  • Items outside the bag must be placed in a cardboard box.
  • Do not drag the bag.
  • Pack the bag where it will be placed for collection and place all electronics, auto batteries and fluorescent tubes outside the bag.
  • Wrap multiple fluorescent tubes together with tape. If available, use the original packaging to hold the tubes and stand them up to prevent breakage.
  • Do not fill with pool chemicals as this can start a fire.

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.
