Hazardous Waste Disposal
The City of North Richland Hills encourages residents to dispose of household chemicals and other household hazardous waste in a safe, responsible manner. North Richland Hills residents can take household hazardous waste to the Environmental Collection Center (ECC) at 6400 Bridge St., Fort Worth, TX. The ECC is open Thursday and Friday 11 a.m. - 7 p.m. and Saturday 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. You will need to show your drivers license or other valid ID to show that you are a North Richland Hills resident. The cost to the City for disposal of hazardous waste at the ECC is $50.00 per load. If you only have a couple of items, please combine these with a friend's or neighbor's to make the best use of your tax dollars. Please limit use of this service to one time per year per household.
Latex paint and stains can be dried or solidified and then can be put in the trash. Mixing in cat litter, sawdust, or a paint hardener (available at local hardware stores) will speed this process. Latex products are not harmful to the environment.
