HHW

Household hazardous wastes can include auto fluids, household cleaners, unused fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, and other chemicals that have the potential to be harmful. Paints, thinners, fluorescent light bulbs, batteries, and photo and pool chemicals also fall into this category. HHW materials should not be placed in with garbage, poured down a sink, poured out in the street, or dumped off the side of the road. These actions can cause harm to the person or wildlife that comes in contact with those materials. Follow this link to find out how to dispose of paint at your home!

Electronics

In addition to these products, Goodwill Inc will be on site to collect used computer equipment from residents. Double Eagle Services will again be on site to erase hard drives for secure disposal. Electronic equipment should be kept out of our landfills because of the metals and other potential pollutants contained in the equipment.

Cooking Oil

The City will also be collecting used cooking oil for its “Got Grease?” program at no cost to residents. The used cooking oil the City collects is processed into biodiesel by an outside company. Cooking oil and grease should never poured down the drain because it can causes blockages, or corrode your pipes which can cause expensive damage to your home.

Plastic Bags

Keep Mansfield Beautiful is now participating in “A Bag’s Life” campaign. This campaign brings awareness to the harmful affects plastic bags have on our environment. It’s time for residents to “Get Caught in the Act with a Bag’s Life” by bringing all unwanted plastic bags, including dry cleaning bags, newspaper bags, food storage bags, plastic product wrap, and bubble wrap.

ECC

If you can not make this collection day, you may dispose of these products year round at the Environmental Collection Center, located at 6400 Bridge St., Fort Worth, TX 76112. Call ahead for hours and to make sure your material will be taken at 817-392-3279. You must bring proof (Drivers License or Utility Bill) that you are a Mansfield resident for this free disposal method.

If you can not attend this second collection, KMB and the City will have a third HHW Collection on Saturday, September 8, 2012. More information can be found at a later date

The City of Mansfield has collected a large pile of tree limbs and brush from various projects and events over time. Instead of having it hauled off to landfills, the City's Water Utility Dept. has decided to grind it into mulch and give it back to the community!

"Mulch Madness" is a FREE event on June 9th where Mansfield Residents can pick up mulch at NO COST!
