Acceptable Waste
Duncan Disposal provides a "Take All" service for residential garbage collection that effectively accommodates collection of almost any non-hazardous residential waste. "Take All" simply means they will collect all items placed on the curb as long as they are containerized, in a can, in a bag, in a box or tied and bundled. All materials including brush must be containerized or tied in bundles not to exceed four (4) feet in length and fifty (50) pounds in weight. If more than four (4) cubic yards, the customer must contact Duncan Disposal to schedule pick up.

Hazardous Waste
Collection of refrigerators or freezer units is prohibited unless certification is provided that C.F.C.'s have been removed by a certified technician. Other hazardous waste items that are not acceptable for landfill disposal include tires, batteries, petroleum products, paints and other chemicals and solvents identified as hazardous. Household hazardous waste may be disposed of at the Environmental Collection Center in Fort Worth. For more information, click here.

Acceptable Recycling
Duncan Disposal also provides residential curbside recycling. All recyclable materials can be placed loose in the plastic recycle bin and do not need to be sorted by material type (this includes newspapers, magazines and household paper). The materials will be sorted at Recycling Plant in Arlington.
Metal Cans - Please rinse cans. It is not necessary to remove labels.
Aluminum Cans - We suggest that you step on the cans to save space in your bin.
Glass - Clear, green and brown glass bottles and jars. No mirrors, window glass, plate glass, light bulbs, ceramics or broken glass.
Plastic Bottles - Only plastic bottles with recycling symbols #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, and #7. Rinse and remove lids.
Mixed Household Paper - Newspapers, magazines, catalogs, junk mail, envelopes, cereal boxes, and other paper. No tissues, wet paper or paper contaminated with food products.
Cardboard - Cardboard should be broken down to a size that will fit inside bin. Larger boxes can be flattened and placed under bin.
