Free E-Waste and Shred Collection Event March 9th

Bring your electronic waste and old documents to the City of Benbrook's E-waste and Shred Collection Event on Saturday, March 9, 2024, at Dutch Branch Park from 8 a.m. to noon, or until the trucks are full.

This event is FREE to Benbrook residents, but proof of residency is required (e.g., driver's license or utility bill). Crews will be available to direct traffic and to assist in unloading items.

The drop-off site is located at Dutch Branch Park's back parking lot behind the Benbrook Lighted Par 3 and the Benbrook Community Center/YMCA (1899 Winscott Road). Please follow the signs along Winscott Road, turn onto Beach Road, and then proceed toward the back parking lot. Please note that the line usually forms early.
