What to know in Dallas

Local rules and laws

• Texas Recycles Computers Program (30 TAC Ch. 328, Subch. I): requires computer manufacturers selling in Texas to offer free takeback recycling for their brand-labeled computers to households. TCEQ maintains an annual manufacturer list.
• Texas Recycles TVs Program (30 TAC Ch. 328, Subch. J): TV manufacturers must register with TCEQ and meet annual recycling targets. Free household takeback required by law.
• Texas does NOT have a paint stewardship law — PaintCare does not operate in Texas (as of 2026). All paint disposal must go through municipal HHW programs (HC3 or BOPA events).
• Dallas City Code Chapter 20-64(2): prohibits disposal of hazardous waste (including electronics, batteries, chemicals, paint) in curbside garbage or recycling containers. Violations can result in administrative fees.
• Dallas City Code Chapter 21: regulates the Department of Sanitation Services and collection of solid waste, recyclable materials, and bulky items within city limits.
• Texas Health & Safety Code Ch. 361.106: prohibits improper disposal of lead-acid batteries, waste oil, and used oil filters. Applies statewide.
• Texas Administrative Code Title 30 (Environment) Ch. 335: enforces Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) standards for hazardous waste management including small quantity generator rules for businesses.

Useful local details

• Dallas County's HC3 (Home Chemical Collection Center) does NOT accept TVs or major appliances — unlike many other city HHW facilities. For electronics, residents must use city transfer stations or McCommas Bluff Landfill. This split system (HC3 for HHW, transfer stations for electronics) is unique and often confuses first-timers.
• McCommas Bluff Landfill and the transfer stations (Bachman, Fair Oaks, Westmoreland) all accept electronics but NOT paint, chemicals, or most batteries — those go to HC3. There is no single 'dump everything here' facility in Dallas. You may need two stops.
• The Fair Oaks Transfer Station has extremely limited weekday hours (Mon-Fri 7-9 AM only) — literally just a 2-hour morning window. Plan for Saturday (7 AM-4 PM) or use a different station Mon-Fri.
• Texas has NO PaintCare program — unlike Colorado, California, Oregon, or Washington where paint can be dropped at hardware stores, Dallas residents must take ALL paint (latex and oil-based) to the HC3. No retail paint drop-off is available.
• Dallas County allows you to keep HHW containers from the HC3 — you bring in your old paint and chemicals and can take home the same type (e.g., bring latex paint, take home latex paint). This is a reuse program for partially-full usable containers.
• The DFW Metroplex means independent city programs — Plano, Frisco, Irving, Arlington, and Fort Worth each have their own HHW/electronics programs separate from Dallas's. Check your city's rules. This guide covers Dallas proper.
• Dallas experiences severe weather including tornadoes and hailstorms that generate significant storm-related debris. After major events, the city may set up temporary storm debris drop-off and waive disposal fees.
• URT Solutions (e-Stewards certified) processes all e-waste from Dallas city facilities, including McCommas Bluff drop-offs. Some electronics that cannot be recycled are processed into fuel for cement kilns (waste-to-energy).
• Non-Dallas residents CAN use the HC3 but pay significantly more ($95+ minimum waste mgmt fee). The facility primarily serves residents of Dallas and approximately 30 member cities that participate in the Dallas County program.
• Goodwill Dallas locations participate in Dell Reconnect and accept any brand of computer equipment for free. Combined with HC3 for HHW, this covers most recycling needs for Dallas residents at no cost.
