GENERAL
CLEAN SWEEP - SATURDAY, APRIL 18
Clean Sweep is tomorrow. It takes place from 9:00-11:00 a.m., or until containers are
full. Everything happens at Colleyville Heritage High School (5401 Heritage Ave.) and is
conducted on a first-come, first-served basis. Access to the event will be from the 121
access road only. Proof of residency is required - a current driver's license or a
recent water bill with name matching your driver's license.
Residents can take advantage of free bulk trash drop-off collection, Crud Cruiser
hazardous waste disposal, electronics recycling and document shredding. Keep
Colleyville Beautiful will provide tire recycling. The Crud Cruiser accepts hazardous
waste not accepted in regular trash collection, such as paints, chemicals, and
pesticides. Due to limited capacity, only the first 50 vehicles are guaranteed
Crud Cruiser access. For the document shredding service, items should be in a
cardboard box or paper bag that does not have to be returned. Plastic bags are not
allowed. The electronics recycling service will accept anything that plugs in or that has
a battery. Download Clean Sweep details
PLEASE NOTE: We're keeping an eye on the weather as it could effect this event.
Please be aware that the Crud Cruiser is run by Fort Worth Environmental Management
and they will decide if weather will impact their ability to safely collect and transport
hazardous waste. In addition, wet paper cannot be shredded, so weather may have an
impact on our ability to provide that service. Updates will be provided tomorrow through
e-news, Colleyville.com, and the city's Facebook page-City of Colleyville Government.

JUNIOR ANGLERS - APRIL 25
Not so very long ago, Colleyville was a rural community. In those days, when not
working on the farm or in the orchards the city was known for then, boys and girls may
have spent their days fishing with family and friends. Most of the farms and orchards
are gone now-but there's still fishing! The Texas Junior Anglers event, scheduled
Saturday, April 25, at the Colleyville Nature Center from 9:00 a.m. until noon,
brings those days back to life for new generations of Colleyville kids. And, just like old
times, the fishing is still free. Poles and bait will be provided at no charge and no prior
fishing experience is necessary. The Junior Anglers event is geared for those 16 years
of age and under-and assistance from parents and grandparents is both encouraged
and appreciated.
The Colleyville Nature Center is located at 100 Mill Wood Drive, off of Glade Road, west
of Colleyville Boulevard. For more information, call 817.503.1180.
