Mesquite is part of a group
of cities that make up the Dallas County Household Hazardous
Waste Network. A combination of grant funding and contributions
from participating cities allowed the network to construct
a permanent home chemical collection center, which is now
available for residents to drop off home chemicals for
reuse and/or disposal on a year round basis. The permanent
facility features evening and weekend hours and is available
to residents of all network cities - including Mesquite
- at no charge. A valid drivers license and a current utility
bill are required as proof of residency. The facility does
not accept commercially generated chemicals, radioactive
materials or medical waste.
