Curbside Recycling

Overview

The City of Weatherford appreciates your interest in recycling. Our voluntary curbside recycling program allows Weatherford residents to conveniently recycle a large variety of household materials.

• Collection

  • Recycling will be collected on one of your regular collection days. Recyclable materials should be placed loosely inside of your recycling container and placed by the curb in accordance with the same rules and regulations as your current twice a week bagged collection service. Your actual collection day schedule will be attached to your cart when it is delivered to your home. Collection map.
