Ordinary household and construction debris is welcome. The limits come from the state list of materials no Texas landfill may bury, plus whatever the receiving site refuses on its own.
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality keeps lead-acid batteries, do-it-yourself motor oil, used oil filters, whole tires, and liquid waste out of every municipal landfill in the state. Regulated hazardous waste and PCB-bearing material are out as well.
Refrigerators, freezers, and window air conditioners are also on that list while they still hold refrigerant. A certified technician has to pull the refrigerant and tag the unit before it can be thrown away, so set appliances aside and tell us about them.
Paint, solvents, fuel, pool chemicals, and asbestos never belong in a standard container. Arlington keeps household hazardous waste out of its landfill entirely and runs a separate phone line for it at 817-392-1234.
Whole tires are worth a special mention, since fence and yard cleanups in Arlington turn them up often. Keep them in a pile of their own. When you are not sure about an item, ask your account manager before it goes over the rail.
