SEE Less Trash Program

The North Central Texas region generates more than 6 million tons of solid waste each year, of which approximately 10 percent is recycled and the remainder landfilled by a variety of public and private agencies.

The designated regional municipal solid waste planning agency, the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) has developed a set of regional strategies for waste minimization, reuse/recycling, composting, disposal of household hazardous waste and used oil and prevention of illegal dumping.
