If your cart is damaged and in need of repair or replacement, call CWD at 972.392.9300. Residents can also swap their 65-gallon recycle cart for a 95-gallon cart at no additional cost by calling CWD. 

Service Guidelines

• Have your cart curbside or at the street by 7:00 a.m. on your collection day (See map for collection days)
• Place the cart at least three feet from any vehicle or structure such as mailboxes, utility meters, poles, fences, etc. This allows room for the automated truck to pick up the cart.
• The front of the cart (non-handle side) should be facing the street. The cart must be placed close enough to the curb or street for the truck to reach it.
• All recycle materials should be contained within the cart and the lid should be closed.

Electronic Recycling - computers and TVs
Texas has two programs requiring manufacturers to recycle computers and televisions through free shipping or drop-off programs. For information, visit TexasRecyclesTVs.org or TexasRecyclesComputers.org. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality also offers a toll-free helpline for questions about electronic recycling—1.855.TV.Recycle (1.855.887.3292). Questions can also be emailed to recycle@tceq.texas.gov.

CartWash

With winter weather on the way, the recycle cart wash program will be paused for the months of December, January, and February. 

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.
