Recycle On The Go - The New Recycling Program In Downtown Fort Worth

June 28,2013

Have you seen the new trashcans in town? The Fort Worth Public Improvement District #1, administered by Downtown Fort Worth, Inc. (DFWI) and The City of Fort Worth Solid Waste Services Division, housed within the Code Compliance Department, have just replaced 64 standard downtown concrete aggregate trashcans with dual-use recycling/landfill cans throughout the core of the center city. The cans are split down the center to house two bins. The recycle side of the new waste containers have stickers encouraging users to recycle aluminum cans and plastics. The other side of the can is marked as landfill trash. The project is funded by a grant from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and is meant to encourage recycling in the Downtown core.
