Arlington residents, if you've got a pile of junk cluttering up your home, you're in luck. The city's offering you a chance to declutter, hauling your unwanted goods to the landfill free of charge – up to three times a year, to be precise. Whether it's old carpet, a beat-up fridge, or remnants of last year's fence, don't sweat the disposal fee on those first few trips.
Here's the deal – you gotta be an Arlington Water Utilities account holder or an authorized user with a valid Texas ID to seal the deal. Remember, account info needs to be current, and the offer is strictly for the folks who call Arlington their permanent abode. Need to update your account or authorize a roommate? Ring up the Action Center at 817-459-6777 or hit the web. It's not for landlords or other multiple property owners, who are subject to the regular fees, as discussed in an article by the City of Arlington.
The City of Arlington notes that you won't have to fuss over printing any landfill coupons, as that requirement got tossed way back in 2020. For additional drop-offs, you'll get a discounted rate, so clearing out clutter won't break the bank.
Before you start loading up the truck, check out the City's Garbage and Recycling webpage for the lowdown on what's fair game for dumping and what's not. And if you're dealing with nastier stuff, like old paint cans or dead batteries, keep it out of the landfill and away from your curb. Instead, take a trip to the City of Fort Worth's Environmental Collection Center, where hazardous household waste can be safely disposed of – also gratis.
The landfill, situated at 800 Mosier Valley Road, is at your service Monday through Saturday, bright and early at 7 a.m. until the afternoon wraps at 4:30 p.m. Troubled about what's recyclable and what's downright hazardous? More details are just a call away at 817-354-2305 or a click to the Environmental Collection Center's webpage for rules and times.
