FUND PURPOSE AND GOALS

The Solid Waste Fund provides residential solid waste collection, recycle processing and waste disposal, as well as
other solid waste management-related services within the city. It fulfills these duties by using and managing
contracts for solid waste services.

The Solid Waste Fund has five functional areas: Contract Compliance provides management over seven solid waste
service contracts; Field Operations manages city forces that operate the drop off stations and provides illegal
dump investigation and clean up, litter abatement, Keep Fort Worth Beautiful, and dead animal collections;
Community Education provides public education and outreach; Planning & Research develops long term plans for
Solid Waste and other areas within the Code Compliance Department; and the overall Solid Waste Administration.

In FY2018, operation and management of the Environmental Collection Center (ECC) transferred from the
Environmental Management Fund to the Solid Waste Fund and is a function of the Field Operations area. The ECC
collects and disposes household hazardous waste for City of Fort Worth Residents as well as 52 plus participating
entities. Mobile collection events are also part of ECC operations.

The Solid Waste Fund strives to operate award-winning programs that continually serve as a role model for
managing garbage, recycling and waste reduction services for the residents of Fort Worth, while supporting the
city’s six Core Values.
