Need to dispose of household clutter, yard trimmings, or old electronics? The City of Carrollton will host a free community clean out event for residents to responsibly dispose of bulk, brush, and electronic waste on Saturday, September 19 from 8 a.m. to noon at the parking lot on Rainwater Lane across from the Carrollton Police Department (2025 E. Jackson Road).

Carrollton solid waste customers can drop off large household items such as broken furniture, appliances, bicycles, rugs, mattresses, and small amounts of construction material from home projects as well as brush and yard waste. Additionally, e-waste such as televisions, computers, printers, microwaves, and other personal devices will be accepted for disposal.

Republic Services, the City’s solid waste provider, will offer a touch-a-truck experience during the event. Kids can explore the garbage truck, climb inside the cab, and learn more about the essential services that keep the community clean and safe. Families can also sign up to win a birthday party provided by Republic Services, complete with a visit from a full-sized waste collection truck during the party.

Bring a valid ID and a City water bill for proof of residency. The community cleanout day is intended only for Carrollton residents. Bulk waste brought by contractors will not be accepted at this event.

Staff will accept items on a first-come, first-served basis until the provided roll-off containers are full. Items will be disposed of by hand and no claw will be available to offload trailers or pickup trucks.

Materials not suitable for this event will not be accepted, such as freon-containing items (refrigerators and A/C units) and household hazardous waste. Residents needing to dispose of household hazardous waste can set up a free collection appointment by calling 469-451-3713 or visiting Household Hazardous Waste & E-Waste.
