Recycling Opportunities

THE AVERAGE PERSON DISPOSES OF 6.5 POUNDS OF WASTE EVERY DAY!

The City of Coppell and Keep Coppell Beautiful encourage all citizens to find creative ways to reduce and better manage our solid waste stream (trash) through a coordinated mix of practices that includes reducing the amount of waste, reusing what we can and recycling materials that can be used as raw materials for new products, then buying products made from recycled materials. 

Where can I ...?

Remove My Name From Junk Mail Lists

Eco-Cycle (ecocycle.org), MailStopper (mailstopper.tonic.com) and Catalog Choice (catalogchoice.org) all provide information on how to remove yourself from junk mail lists and catalog mailing lists.

Recycle Household Goods

Reusable household goods can be recycled at social service agencies.  Many have pick up service, like Christian Community Action in Lewisville.

Recycle Paper at the Schools and Churches

All dry paper can be recycled at each school in Coppell and most churches in the green and yellow bins.  Accepts magazines, newspaper, catalogs, office and home paper and mail.  These bins provide rebates for the organization.  Not acceptable: cardboard, paperboard (like cereal boxes) or phone books.

Recycle Cans and Bottles

Recycle cans and bottles in residential curbside carts.  Multi-family housing residents - check with your management to see if recycling is a service.

Recycle Corrugated Cardboard

Flatten boxes, corrugated and paperboard and put in residential curbside carts.

Recycle Yard Trimmings in the Backyard

Composting grass and leaves in a compost pile can reduce up to 1/10th of your summer lawn trimmings from going out as waste and can be a great benefit to the health of your landscape. 

Participate in Recycling in the City of Coppell

Residents, use your recycling cart to reduce waste going to the landfill, save natural resources, reduce air pollution and it just makes good sense.  There is no time to waste.  Information about recycling in this region can be found at the North Central Texas Council of Governments website www.timetorecycle.com
