Some products kept in the home or garage can be flammable, poisonous, explosive, or carcinogenic. These items should never be thrown in the trash, washed down the drain, or poured on the ground. Residents may dispose of these materials by either arranging for a Door Side Collection with CWD or by taking them to the Environmental Collection Center in Fort Worth.
