Fort Worth Environmental Collection Center

The Fort Worth Environmental Collection Center is located at: 

6400 Bridge Street
Fort Worth, TX 76112 

In addition to the Crud-Cruiser event, residents may also drop off hazardous materials at the Fort Worth Environmental Collection Center. Call the center at (817) 392-3279 for days and hours of operation. Southlake residents do not need a voucher to drop off household hazardous waste (HHW) but should take a current copy of their water bill to prove their residence in Southlake. This ensures that the collection center will charge the city (not you) for your participation. 

More Information
If you have questions about a specific waste not listed, contact the collection center to find out if it is accepted. For assistance, questions or more information about proper handling and disposal of HHW, contact the Fire Services Division at (817) 748-8106.
