Start cleaning out your garage, the shed, and under the kitchen sink. The City’s Household Hazardous Waste event is set for Saturday, May 6.

We’re not just accepting household hazardous waste. We are also taking your old electronics, tires and the paper you haven’t shredded yet.

The event is 9 a.m. - 11 a.m. at the Municipal Service Center, 725 SE John Jones Dr. and is only open to residents who live inside the Burleson city limits (proof of residency including a City water or solid waste bill is required).

Please be patient, you may expect long lines at the event. It takes a few minutes to unload vehicles.

Household hazardous waste items are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis and there is a possibility that the paint recycling container will fill up. Residents who do not want to wait until the next HHW collection event in Burleson, can take their household hazardous waste to the Environmental Collection Center (ECC).
