Special Leaf Recycling collection begins Saturday
Community Waste Disposal,
Colleyville's trash and recycling
service provider, will run special
collection routes to recycle
bagged leaves starting in
December. The special days are
Saturday, Dec. 2, Dec. 9, Jan. 6,
and Jan. 13.
The collections begin at 10 a.m.
to allow additional time for
residents to rake and bag leaves. CWD will also pick up and
recycle Christmas trees on those special collection days in
January. Just remember to remove all decorations.
To participate, residents just need to set out leaves bagged
in Kraft bags on the designated collection days. CWD will
still collect leaves in plastic bags set out on regular garbage
collection days but these will just go to the landfill. If
residents set out paper Kraft bags for leaf recycling a few
days early CWD will leave them for the Saturday
collections. With that in mind, residents should be aware of
and comply with their Homeowner Association's policies.
