Bulk Collection Info

From Madelyn Gibbs in the Fort Worth Neighborhood Education Office:

Hi Neighbors!

Get email or text reminders for your next bulk collection week. It's easier than ever to remember when to set out that pile of items that is too large, too heavy or bulky to fit in the brown garbage cart for normal garbage pickup. Residents of Fort Worth can now sign-up electronically to receive reminder notices for their monthly bulk collection.

There's a new link on the City's website that makes it easy for residents to make just one click, and using your water bill account number, you will be able to sign-up to receive a reminder email, text message, or both. The reminder notice will be sent the week prior to your bulk collection. It's just that easy!

Sign up today at http://fortworthtexas.gov/solidwaste to receive a reminder notice.
