BECOMING A PARTICIPANT

The Upper Trinity Regional Water District provides a Household Hazardous Waste Collection Program to communities that have contracted with us for participation. As a participant in the Program, your community could schedule special collection events. This is an opportunity for citizens to dispose of household hazardous waste, such as paint, cleaning compounds, insecticides, and herbicides, in a safe and environmentally responsible manner. Collection events such as these help keep pollutants out of our community waterways, drinking water sources, and landfills.

A collection event will be a shared responsibility between the  District and the participating city. The District will bring its special mobile collection trailer to the event to provide a convenient and safe way to collect and transport the materials to the disposal center. The District will transport and dispose of the waste through a contract with the City of Fort Worth. After each collection event, the participating city will be billed based on the number of households who participate in the event. If you have any questions or would like more information, please contact the Household Hazardous Waste Coordinator at (972) 219-1228 or e-mail mail@utrwd.com.
