NRH provides curbside single-stream recycling to all residential customers through Republic Services. Recycling is voluntary but encouraged, with a biweekly pickup schedule and guidelines limiting contamination to preserve processing value.
Single-family residential recycling in North Richland Hills is collected every other week by Republic Services in 95-gallon carts using a single-stream system (all acceptable recyclables mixed together). Accepted materials include: paper and cardboard (flattened), plastic bottles and jugs with necks smaller than the body (PET 1, HDPE 2), aluminum and steel cans (rinsed), and glass bottles and jars (verify current acceptance, as glass acceptance has varied regionally). Not accepted: plastic bags (return to grocery stores), plastic film, polystyrene (Styrofoam), food-contaminated items (greasy pizza boxes), clothing and textiles, electronics (use special recycling events), batteries, hazardous waste, light bulbs, or any item smaller than a credit card. Contamination reduces the value of the recycling stream and may result in carts being tagged or rejected. Cardboard boxes must be flattened to fit inside the cart with the lid fully closed. Commercial and multifamily recycling varies by property and hauler contract. NRH participates in regional recycling events for electronics, textiles, and hazardous waste several times per year. Texas does not have a statewide mandatory recycling law for residential customers, so participation is voluntary but strongly encouraged for environmental and landfill capacity reasons.
Recycling participation is voluntary. Contaminated carts may be rejected (trash fine applies if persistent). Recycling center contamination can incur fees passed back through the city contract.
