The city of Colleyville is charged $47 per visit to the Fort Worth Environmental Collection Center, regardless of the amount of material that you drop off. Please attempt to consolidate items for delivery (using the guidelines below for containers) and avoid numerous trips with small loads. For your safety and to make the collection of materials less costly and more efficient, we ask that you please:

offer to take neighbors' sealed containers with you to avoid numerous trips to the ECC
put containers in a truck to transport them, not in the passenger compartment
give remaining products to someone else who can still use them, if they are useable
take automotive items (e.g. freon, brake fluid, motor oil, batteries, etc.) to local automotive stores
sort liquid paint by type (e.g. latex, oil-based, lead-based) before bringing it, and keep chemicals in their original containers.

NEVER combine household chemicals from different containers into one, since some combinations may react together to create fumes or other dangers. Combined materials may become impossible to recycle.

If a container is broken or leaking, place it inside a second container of like material (i.e. glass for corrosives, metal for flammables, etc.)

If a container has no label and you are sure what it contains, place a label on the container that clearly describes the contents
