Good to know
Keep products in their original containers, not trash bags. Label anything unmarked. Put leaking containers inside a second container. Load everything in the trunk or truck bed, stay in your car and let staff unload. Usable paint and cleaners on the Help-Yourself Shelf are free to take.

Where their pages disagree
- Fort Worth participating-cities page: 'Voucher needed for ECC: No' but the entry still gives a voucher contact (Customer Service, 1805 L. Don Dodson Dr.). Bedford's own page: free, residents no longer need a voucher. We followed: No voucher, access free (Bedford page agrees with Fort Worth's 'No').
- Fort Worth: 'Voucher needed: Yes (new policy)', no price. Grand Prairie page: voucher is free from Public Health & Environmental Quality, and only one drop-off per household per year. We followed: access voucher; free voucher and the once-a-year limit put in the note.
- Arlington news page (26 May 2026): ECC visits limited to once per month per household. Fort Worth pages: no visit limit. We followed: Limit on the Arlington served_areas note only.
- Burleson ECC page: paint 20-gallon limit per household; proof must be a City of Burleson water or solid waste bill. Fort Worth: paint 30 gallons; driver's license (preferred) or water bill. We followed: Fort Worth's 30-gallon limit in limits; Burleson's proof rule in the Burleson note.
- Euless page: show driver's license AND water bill. Fort Worth: driver's license or water bill. We followed: Fort Worth's rule in eligibility; Euless rule in the Euless note.
- Fort Worth lists $47 vouchers for Crowley and Dalworthington Gardens and no price for Westworth Village. Westworth Village page: $125 voucher, 'fees are established by Fort Worth'. Euless page: the city is charged $125 per car load. We followed: $47 for Crowley and DWG as Fort Worth publishes; $125 for Westworth Village from its own page. The $47 figure may be stale.
- Fort Worth lists DWG as a voucher member ($47 per trip). DWG's own page says HHW moved to Community Waste Disposal door-side pickup from 1 Sep 2023 and does not mention the ECC; TCEQ lists DWG as CWD home collection. We followed: Kept DWG as Fort Worth lists it (operator page ranks first) and mentioned CWD pickup in the note.
- Fort Worth list marks voucher cities with '*' but White Settlement has no '*' while its entry says 'Voucher needed: Yes'. White Settlement page: one free voucher per household per calendar year from utility billing. We followed: access voucher with the White Settlement rule in the note.
- Fort Worth ECC page: 817-392-1234 and 817-392-5257. TCEQ PDF (22 Sep 2026): 817-392-5275 (Rex Johnson). Burleson, Hurst and Grand Prairie pages: 817-392-EASY (3279). We followed: 817-392-1234 from the ECC page.
