| What Can You Take To The Fort Worth Dump |
The Goods the Dump Gods Accept
- The Usual Suspects: We're talking your everyday trash - food scraps (casseroles past their prime, anyone?), old newspapers (because who reads physical news anymore?), and all that delightful single-stream recycling (think cardboard boxes that once housed your online shopping sprees).
- The Bulky Bunch: Got a couch that's seen more Netflix marathons than Usain Bolt? Maybe a fridge that chills like a lukewarm hug? The dump welcomes these bulky items with open... well, not exactly open arms, but an open landfill, I guess. Just be sure to check the website for size restrictions beforehand.
- Yard Waste Woes: Did your springtime pruning turn into a full-on arborist extravaganza? Fear not! The dump accepts your grass clippings, leaves, and branches (just keep 'em under 4 inches in diameter). Pro tip: If you're feeling fancy, bag your yard waste for easier unloading.
Things That Will Make the Dump Gods Weep
- The Toxic Terrors: We're looking at your paint cans, motor oil, and other hazardous materials. These guys require special handling, so don't subject the dump (and its employees) to their hazardous presence. Check the city website for proper disposal instructions.
- The Construction Crew Rejects: Thinking of chucking that leftover concrete from your DIY disaster? Nope. The dump politely declines bricks, concrete, and other construction debris. These need their own special disposal party.
- The Exploding Evils: This one's a no-brainer. Ammunition, explosives, and anything else that could cause a fiery (and potentially musical) goodbye are a big ol' nope at the dump.
Remember: When in doubt, check the City of Fort Worth's website for a comprehensive list of accepted and prohibited items.
QuickTip: Slow down if the pace feels too fast.
