Household Hazardous Waste Collection

Next date: Saturday, June 01, 2024 | 09:00 AM to 11:00 AM

Grand Prairie Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Collection Events are scheduled throughout the year; the events are free to Grand Prairie residents but space is limited.  

Due to the rising cost of HHW disposal, each household is limited to utilizing the City's HHW service once per year. We encourage you to consolidate your HHW materials to make the most of your trip.

The City incurs the same cost, regardless of the quantity you bring, so efficient use of this service benefits us all.

Registration is required online or by phone at 972-237-8055. If you are unable to select a time during online registration, then all time slots have been filled (please register for another event date).

Please bring your valid Texas driver's license or ID as proof of residency.

How can I dispose of HHW properly?

Grand Prairie residents have two options for disposing of HHW:

  • Bring your HHW to a collection event in Grand Prairie; collection events are held several times per year. Registration is required and space is limited, so please register early. Register online or call 972-237-8055.
  • Bring your HHW to the Environmental Collection Center in Fort Worth. The ECC is located at 6400 Bridge St. A voucher is required to dispose of HHW at the ECC. To obtain a voucher, contact the Public Health & Environmental Quality (PHEQ) Department at 972-237-8055.
