The company believes it can double recycling by Dallas residents from five pounds a month to 10 pounds a month. New items to recycle include glass, junk mail, aerosol cans and cereal boxes. Newspaper, aluminum, steel or tin cans and plastics one, two and three can all be recycled. It's a service many residents expect. By dialing 311, residents can find out their collection day.
Blue bags are available at grocery stores, discount stores and recycling centers.
Dallas still has no recycling for people who live in apartments, roughly 60 percent of city residents. But curbside recycling in all Dallas neighborhoods is now a reality. Our promise with this new program is that it's going to be reliable. Curbside recycling in Dallas is available once a week to 240,000 residential customers.
