FAQs

How do I dispose of paint?
For 1” or less of paint left in the can, open the lid and store in a safe place until the paint has dried. Dispose of the “opened” can in your garbage. For volumes more than 1”, purchase paint hardener from a hardware store and add to the paint. When hardened, dispose of the “opened” can in your garbage.

How do I dispose of used oil?
Ask oil change businesses if they will accept used oil. A charge may be involved. Contact your County Commissioner and ask about disposal options.

How do I dispose of used tires?
Contact Texoma Area Solid Waste Authority for up-to-date charges.

How can I recycle my computer?
Visit manufacturer’s website for recycle information that is free to the consumer.

Municipal Solid Waste


The Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Grant Program provides financial and technical assistance to city and county governments, school districts, and law enforcement districts in their efforts to combat illegal dumping, promote recycling, and ultimately reduce the amount of waste introduced to local landfills.

The MSW program is overseen by the Natural Resources Advisory Committee (NRAC) which consists of members who represent a broad range of interests, including a representative of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, public officials, private operators, citizen groups, and interested individuals.
