Based on the listings above, materials commonly handled in Dallas include Cardboard, Glass, Drop-off, Plastics #1&2, Electronics. Browse the guides below for preparation tips, scrap values, and what's recyclable.
Dallas runs a single stream curbside recycling program through the Department of Sanitation Services, so residents toss plastic, glass, metal, paper, and cardboard together in one blue cart with no sorting required. The city's own McCommas Bluff Landfill and three transfer stations handle self-hauled waste, and Dallas County operates a dedicated household chemical drop-off site that serves Dallas and about a dozen surrounding cities for free. Texas has no bottle deposit law, so cans and bottles carry no refund value here, and anyone selling scrap metal has to show ID under state law. Government-issued ID required for regulated metals including copper and catalytic converters.
Dallas uses single stream recycling, meaning plastic bottles and containers (recycling codes 1 through 7), glass bottles and jars of any color, aluminum, tin, and steel cans, paper, cardboard, and shelf stable or refrigerated cartons all go into the same blue cart loose, with no bags and no sorting. The city calls the cart Recycle Ben. Broken glass should be wrapped in a paper bag first for collection crew safety.
Yes. Dallas accepts glass bottles and jars of any color directly in the blue curbside cart alongside everything else, which is not universal among Texas cities. Window glass, light bulbs, ceramics, mirrors, Pyrex, and fiberglass are not accepted and should not go in the cart.
Electronics such as TVs, computers, monitors, printers, and game consoles cannot go in the curbside cart, but Dallas residents can drop them off free at McCommas Bluff Landfill or any of the three sanitation transfer stations. Household chemicals like paint, pool chemicals, batteries, automotive fluids, and fluorescent bulbs go to the Dallas County Home Chemical Collection Center at 11234 Plano Road, open Tuesday through Thursday plus the second and fourth Saturday of each month, free for Dallas residents with proof of address.
Dallas provides monthly curbside brush and bulky item collection of up to 10 cubic yards per household, with materials set out just behind the curb between Thursday and the Monday of the scheduled collection week. Residents get one 20 cubic yard oversize exception per year by requesting it through 311 the week before pickup, and anything over the limit gets measured, photographed, and billed at $60 per 5 cubic yards. Furniture, mattresses, carpet, and household appliances without coolant are accepted, but no electronics, tires, construction debris, paint, or chemicals.
Texas law requires anyone selling regulated scrap metal to show a government issued photo ID, and the buyer has to record the seller's name, address, and vehicle information, plus photograph the seller and the material. High theft items like copper wire, catalytic converters, and manhole covers face extra reporting and holding periods before a yard can resell them. Texas also has no statewide bottle deposit or redemption program, so cans and bottles have no built in refund value the way they do in states like Michigan or California.
