Downtown Fort Worth, Inc. is pleased to announce that the Recycle on the Go program, implemented in June 2013 in partnership with The City of Fort Worth Solid Waste Services Division, has made a significant contribution to the reduction of recycled waste in Downtown Fort Worth. 

With 66 dual-use aggregate trashcans spread throughout the core of the center city, recent data shows there has been a substantial reduction in the contamination of recyclables. In addition, the amount of plastic bottles, cups and aluminum cans collected has risen to approximately two cubic yards a week – a significant increase since the inception of the program.

Recycle on the Go is funded by a grant from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and it aims to reduce the amount of garbage produced by 10%, or 10,000 lbs annually, and open the door on expanded recycling opportunities for Fort Worth residents and visitors.
