Recycling FAQ

Steel, tin and aluminum cans. It is not necessary to remove paper labels from steel cans, but please rinse out all cans.

Paper items. Newspapers, magazines, coupons, junk mail and envelopes, flattened cereal and cardboard boxes, phone books, etc., will be collected. Cardboard boxes must be flattened and placed under the bin.

Glass items. All glass items, regardless of color, may be recycled. Please rinse all bottles and jars and remove caps and lids.

Plastic items. Any plastic bottle may be recycled. No plastic grocery bags, please. Rinse all jugs and bottles and remove caps and lids.

The City of Grand Prairie has designed a recycling drop-off area at the Landfill specifically for electronics. Bring these items to the landfill's customer convenience area.

*Texans now have a free and easy way to recycle unwanted personal computers. Instead of bringing computers to the Landfill, you may be able to recycle for free through the computer manufacturer. Visit TexasRecyclesComputers.org for more details, or visit Computer Recycling.

Each residence has two days for waste collection and one day-a-week for recycling collection.

Please take your water bill to show that you are paying for solid waste service in Grand Prairie. If you have not yet received a water bill, you can take something else that shows your residence status (i.e. bank statement, new home contract – basically, any mail with your new address on it).

Cardboard, like other types of paper, can be recycled at the curbside. The boxes should be broken down and flattened out and either placed under or behind the bin.

The city of Grand Prairie contracts with Duncan Disposal (more commonly known as Grand Prairie Disposal) to pick up both the solid waste and recycling that is accumulated at each residence.

The solid waste hotline: 972-237-8061.

Your first bin is free; each additional bin costs $5 each.

The city does not franchise with or endorse any particular carriers for recycling waste.
