Solid Waste & Recycling
Introduction
The Solid Waste & Recycling Department is responsible for managing the City’s comprehensive waste management system,
including residential and commercial garbage collection, landfill operations, recycling services, and special waste disposal programs.
The department operates a Type I Municipal Solid Waste Landfill, which serves as a regional facility supporting safe and compliant
disposal practices while incorporating sustainability measures to reduce environmental impact.
In addition to core waste services, the department oversees a variety of environmental and beautification initiatives. The Keep Grand
Prairie Beautiful program engages volunteers and local partners in litter cleanups, tree plantings, and community education to foster
civic pride and environmental stewardship. The department also regulates auto-related businesses to ensure compliance with
environmental standards and protect air and water quality. The Brush Crew handles bulk waste and storm debris removal, while
Community Gardens offer residents a chance to engage in local food production and beautify shared spaces. Through education,
enforcement, innovation, and partnership, the department supports Grand Prairie’s vision of a clean, livable, and environmentally
responsible community.
