Comprehensive Guide & Details
Twice-Weekly Garbage Collection via CWD
To accommodate a fast-growing residential community, the City of Azle partners exclusively with Community Waste Disposal (CWD) to manage all domestic solid waste. Homeowners benefit from a highly robust twice-weekly garbage collection schedule, operating either on a Monday/Thursday or Tuesday/Friday rotation based on your specific neighborhood sector map. Residents must ensure their trash containers—weighing no more than 50 pounds and capped at a maximum of 33 gallons—are securely positioned at the curb by 7:00 AM to guarantee service.
Dedicated Weekly Recycling Pickup
Conserving regional landfill space is a massive priority for Azle, which is exactly why CWD provides a dedicated curbside recycling pickup once a week. When you initially establish your municipal water utilities, you will receive a specific recycling bin alongside your designated collection day. To keep the green program running smoothly, only place accepted items like flattened cardboard, clean plastic jugs, and aluminum drink cans inside the cart. Do not bag your recyclables, as loose materials are absolutely required for the automated sorting lines.
Bulk Waste and Heavy Brush Limits
Wondering what to do with that old broken mattress or the giant pile of tree limbs from your weekend landscaping project? Azle makes it incredibly easy! On your second scheduled trash day of the week, CWD will automatically collect bulky items and bundled brush directly from your curb. You are permitted to dispose of up to two cubic yards of heavy waste per week. Just remember to cut and tie any tree branches into neat bundles no longer than four feet to ensure the crews can safely lift them into the hopper.
Proper Timing for Cart Placement
Keeping the neighborhood streets clear and beautiful is important to the overall community aesthetic. Therefore, the City of Azle has strict guidelines regarding exactly when you can drag your garbage and recycling receptacles out to the street. Containers may not be placed outside any earlier than 7:00 PM on the evening preceding your designated collection day. Once the CWD trucks have successfully emptied your bins, it is best practice to return them to your garage or side yard as promptly as possible.
Navigating Holiday Route Disruptions
The hard-working sanitation crews observe major national holidays, including Thanksgiving, Christmas Day, and Independence Day. During these specific weeks, your standard pickup schedule will likely shift. For example, if Christmas falls on a Friday, all Friday collections will systematically slide to Saturday. Conversely, holidays like Memorial Day and Labor Day do not interrupt residential service, meaning CWD will operate its normal routes without delay. Always verify the current holiday calendar on the Azle public works web portal.
