Local Tips & Community Info
Got Cans and Bottles? Turn Them Into Cold Cash Right Here in Grapevine!
While Grapevine doesn't have its own dedicated buyback center right in town, Texas has a state-wide program that lets you redeem those beverage containers! Keep an eye out for recycling centers in nearby cities like Fort Worth or Dallas. Places like Scrap Metal Services or various independent recycling yards often accept aluminum cans and other metals. It's a great way to make a few bucks while doing your part for the environment. Just a heads-up, always call ahead to check their hours and what specific items they're currently buying.
Giving Your Gently Used Stuff a Grapevine Second Life
Instead of tossing items that still have life in them, think about donating! Grapevine has a few fantastic options. The GRACE Marketplace is a wonderful local spot that accepts clothing, furniture, and household goods to support their community programs. You might also find treasures at thrift stores in neighboring Hurst or Euless. And for bigger projects, check if Habitat for Humanity ReStores in the Dallas-Fort Worth area have donation drop-offs – they often take building materials and home furnishings.
Keeping Our Grapevine Neighborhoods Spick and Span: What to Know
Grapevine works hard to keep our community beautiful! If you ever notice any illegal dumping, it's super important to report it so the city can address it. You can usually do this by contacting Grapevine's Public Works department or their code enforcement. They also occasionally host community clean-up events, which are a fantastic way to get involved and meet your neighbors while making our town shine. Staying informed through the city's website or local social media groups is the best way to catch these opportunities.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if my trash doesn't fit in the new blue cart?
Bagged trash left outside the cart will not be collected on your regular trash days. You must hold any excess bags until your designated Bulk/Brush collection day (the 2nd, 4th, or 5th Tuesday/Wednesday). Alternatively, you can request an additional blue cart from the city for a $6 monthly fee.
How do I know if my bulk day is on Tuesday or Wednesday?
The city is divided into two zones. If your home is located north of Northwest Highway, your bulk and brush collection day is Tuesday. If you live south of Northwest Highway, your collection day is Wednesday.
Where can I safely dispose of hazardous waste?
Household hazardous waste cannot be placed in your curbside carts. Grapevine partners with the Fort Worth Environmental Collection Center at 6400 Bridge Street to provide free, year-round HHW drop-off for its residents.
Can I still use my personal trash cans from the hardware store?
No. Following the city-wide transition in October 2024, only the city-provided blue 95-gallon or 65-gallon carts will be serviced on regular trash collection days.
