Comprehensive Guide & Details
Frontier Waste Solutions in Tarrant County
Maintaining the pristine aesthetic of Tarrant County, the City of Kennedale partners exclusively with Frontier Waste Solutions to manage all residential solid waste and recycling logistics. Standard household garbage is picked up on a highly dependable weekly schedule. To ensure your route driver does not skip your property, your heavy-duty municipal poly-carts must be pushed to the edge of the street bright and early on your designated collection morning. Given the dynamic nature of routing schedules, waiting to hear the truck approach before staging your bins is a massive risk.
Sorting Recyclables at the Curb
Kennedale actively champions environmental sustainability through a dedicated curbside recycling program. Homeowners should utilize their designated recycling cart strictly for approved, unbagged materials such as corrugated cardboard, clean office paper, aluminum cans, and rigid plastics. It is absolutely vital that you do not stuff your recyclables into plastic grocery bags. Flexible plastic film acts like a destructive web, instantly jamming the mechanical gears at the regional sorting facility. Bagged recyclables will trigger a non-compliance tag, and the cart will be left full on the curb.
Bulky Waste Scheduling and Limitations
For household items that are simply too large for a standard poly-cart, Kennedale residents must proactively request a heavy trash collection. If you are discarding old living room furniture, broken patio sets, or boxed household junk, you must contact Frontier Waste Solutions directly at 817-222-2221 to schedule a bulky waste pickup. However, highly volatile materials like wet paint, motor oil, lithium-ion batteries, and contractor-grade demolition rubble are explicitly prohibited from these curbside events and must be taken to a certified environmental disposal center.
Innovative Simple Recycling Program
In a unique and highly innovative partnership, Kennedale collaborates with Keep Kennedale Beautiful (KKB) to present the Simple Recycling program. This specialized service focuses entirely on textile and clothing recycling. Residents can request designated orange bags directly from SimpleRecycling.com. Once filled with unwanted clothing, shoes, or home textiles, these bags are collected straight from your front porch. This fantastic initiative dramatically reduces the volume of usable fabric being unnecessarily dumped into local Texas landfills.
Avoiding Fines for Improper Cart Staging
The automated side-loading trucks utilized by Frontier Waste Solutions require meticulous spatial clearance to operate safely. When staging your carts at the curb, you must guarantee a minimum separation of three feet from all surrounding obstacles, including postal boxes, fire hydrants, decorative landscaping, and parked sedans. The front handle of the bin must point directly toward your residence, allowing the lid to swing open properly toward the street. Improperly oriented bins present a safety risk and will frequently be bypassed by the operator.
