The City of Fort Worth Property Management & Environmental Services Committee met on October 13, 2026, for briefings on recycling education and environmental services. Staff reported that $4.8 million in EPA funding will support community education and outreach over the next three years, including efforts to reduce recycling-cart contamination from about 30% toward a 10% goal. The briefing highlighted the city’s partnership with WM and Republic, the local recycling facilities, and planned America Recycles Day activities. A question about the out-of-service Styrofoam processing machine at Hillshire prompted staff to say they would follow up on options to restore service; no contract award or procurement vote was reported.

Staff also reviewed litter abatement, street sweeping, illegal-dumping and encampment cleanup, and community cleanup events. They said two new street-sweeper trucks will be ordered this year, with an estimated 12–18-month delivery time; no cost or vendor was specified. The committee also recognized staff member Neil Johnson’s planned retirement. No motions or votes related to spending or procurement were identified.
