Since the announcement of the new waste collection contract we’ve received many questions from our residents. Each week we’ll be answering more of these questions and sharing those answers with you. These will also be added to an ongoing FAQ that you can access anytime at https://www.wstx.us/1448/New-Trash-Service-FAQ

Will the recycling drop off station at 8212 Albert St stay in operation?
Yes, the recycling drop off station will remain open. Frontier Waste Solutions will install a new style of receptacle at the location which will cut down on bulk items being added into the recycling and after hours dumping. The recycling drop off station will also continue to be the hub for community recycling programs such as the holiday grease roundup and the Christmas tree drop off.

Where do I place my recycling cart?
Your trash and recycling will be picked up on the same day each week. Your recycling cart should be placed beside your trash cart with at least three feet of distance between them. Be sure that your carts are free of obstructions on all sides (not too close to mailbox/fence, no overhanging limbs or wires, no cars parked in front of them on the street) and they are facing the correct direction (wheels toward house).

Is there a resource that visually shows what can and can’t be recycled?
The website www.timetorecycle.com is a great resource for learning more about recycling. If you navigate to http://timetorecycle.com/what-is-recyclable.asp it shows a great visual list of what is and isn’t allowed to be included in curbside recycling.

What happens to individuals who consistently put non-recyclables in their recycling cart?
Each cart is assigned specifically to an address and using the truck camera technology Frontier Waste Solutions can identify exactly what address may be consistently placing non-recyclables and contaminants into their recycling. When this becomes an issue, the individual will be contacted so they can bring their use of the recycling cart into compliance with the recycling guidelines.

Beginning on May 1st, the City will be expanding recycling services as part of our new waste collection contract with Frontier Waste Solutions. Part of these new services will be curbside recycling. Over the course of the month we’ve looked at many benefits of recycling. One of the more practical benefits of utilizing curbside recycling is the way it can expand the amount of space you have for your overall trash each week. Your trash cart can hold the equivalent of six standard sized trash bags. One thing to keep in mind is that through effective use of the recycling cart, that can be expanded to having a total weekly pickup capacity of ten standard sized trash bags. The recycling cart can hold the equivalent of four trash bags worth of trash, meaning that by effectively recycling you’re taking items that would be in your trash cart and moving them to the recycling cart. This frees up even more space so you’ll have plenty of room each week in your trash cart. While clearly a practical benefit, by utilizing the recycling cart in this manner you’ll also be helping the environment and achieving many of the big picture benefits we’ve discussed throughout the month.

REMINDER: On Tuesday, February 21st, the Texas Department of Transportation will be holding a Town Hall Meeting regarding the I-30 West Corridor Study from 4 pm to 6 pm at the Fort Worth Botanic Garden (Oak Hall/Rose Room, 3220 Botanic Garden Blvd, Fort Worth, 76107).

Beginning on May 1st, the City will be expanding recycling services as part of our new waste collection contract with Frontier Waste Solutions. As a part of these recycling services, the Recycling Drop Off Station that is currently in operation at 8212 Albert Street will remain open and will be managed by Frontier. One of the major changes you’ll see at the drop off station is a change in the type of receptacles at the location. Instead of a number of separate dumpsters, Frontier Waste Solutions plans to install a large enclosed dumpster that is accessed by smaller windows on the side. This will keep people from being able to place bulk items into the recycling dumpster that can contaminate the recyclables. The new dumpster can also be locked, discouraging after hours dumping or use when the dumpster is already too full.

With the introduction of curbside recycling, the expectation is for the Recycling Drop Off Station to see a reduction in use, but it will remain as a resource for the community. Those with additional recycling beyond what fits in their cart can drop it off and those who may not have a recycling cart can also use the drop off station. The Recycling Drop Off Station will also continue to serve as a recycling hub where programs such as the holiday grease roundup and Christmas tree drop-off take place.

These will also be added to an ongoing FAQ that you can access anytime at https://www.wstx.us/1448/New-Trash-Service-FAQ

When will I receive my trash and recycling carts?
Frontier Waste Solutions has informed the city that the current plan is for cart delivery to homes the week of April 17th. We’ll release reminders and more information as that date gets closer.

What do I do with the old trash cans/carts that I have?
Under the new waste services contract, the only carts that can be used with the Frontier Waste trucks are the official carts they'll deliver to you. There are many good alternative uses for old carts/cans. They can be used as a planter, for composting, and utilizing them as storage is also an option.

Can I recycle aluminum foil?
Yes, aluminum foil is recyclable if it's free of food residue. Much like pizza boxes and other food containers, recyclables that contain food residue can contaminate the recycling and need to be thrown away instead of recycled.

Can I put clothes or shoes in my recycling cart?
No, clothes and shoes can’t be included in your recycling cart. Textiles such as clothes and shoes undergo a different recycling process. If you’re interested in getting rid of clothes or shoes, consider donating to a local charitable organization or researching textile recycling options.

Can I recycle diapers?
No, used diapers cannot be placed in your recycling cart, they need to be thrown in the trash. An environmentally friendly solution is to make the change to cloth diapers that can be washed and reused.
