Forward To A Friend
Community Waste Disposal (CWD) will begin serving the
City of Colleyville Nov. 1, 2017. The City Council agreed to
a five-year contract with the company at its June 20
meeting. Colleyville's contract with the current service
provider Waste Connections ends Oct. 31.
The new contract maintains the current service level with
twice-per-week garbage collection and once-per-week
recycling collection for residential customers at a rate of
$12.63 per month. There is an additional $0.47, which
adds curbside household hazardous waste collection and
electronics recycling. The new total residential rate will be
$13.10 per month, an $0.11 increase from the current rate
of $12.99 per month. If the City had stayed with the
current provider, the monthly rate would have gone to over
$16 per month without curbside household hazardous
waste collection.
Residents will receive a 65-gallon recycling cart but will
have the option to replace it with a 95-gallon cart upon
request. City staff is working with CWD to develop plans for
the transition this fall. City staff and CWD will communicate
plans through multiple channels. Be sure to visit the
website at Colleyville.com, read the weekly Colleyville E-
News, look for information in the Colleyville Communicator,
and follow the city on Facebook for updates.
