The Keep Mansfield Beautiful Commission has started its annual Blue Bonnet seed sale. The Texas Blue Bonnet is a staple of spring color in this great State. Residents and businesses are encouraged to help beautify their lawns, landscapes, and other areas by purchasing blue bonnet seeds. A seed order form is available here. Seed orders must be submitted to the City by August 15. Seeds will be ready for pickup by the end of September, just in time for planting. For more information about the Blue Bonnet seed program, or any Keep Mansfield Beautiful program, visit KMBC's new website at www.keepmansfieldbeautiful.org. For questions about the Blue Bonnet seed program, please contact Jill McClintic at 817-276-4243.

Don't forget that residents can now bring their used cooking oil up to City Hall to be recycled. Disposal is free and appointments can be made between 8am-5pm Monday through Friday during normal operating hours. For more information about recycling your used cooking oil, visit the City's FOGs webpage. To schedule a drop off, call Howard Redfearn at 817-276-4240.

Join the festivities as Mansfield celebrates the Fourth with rock n' roll, recreation and rockets!

Due to the Mansfield ISD construction activities, there is temporarily no public parking available at Chandler Park. This is a temporary issue caused by the MISD construction activities at Brooks Wester Middle School and the district's Intermediate School #6. Chandler Park will remain open until further notice for pedestrian traffic only.

Thank You

The City provides curbside recycling services for all single family residents. Bins are available at City Hall and are limited to 2 per household. If you would like more information about what materials can and cannot be included, please view this brochure. Recycling as much as we can helps reduce stress on our limited natural resources keeping costs for products low. It also keeps these materials out of our landfills helping to keep disposal rates as low as possible. For more information about recycling, follow this link to the City's Recycling Page.

For materials not included in the list, especially electronics, there are other ways to have these items recycled. Best Buy and other businesses in town provide receptacles for cell phones, ink cartridges, and batteries. The AT&T store in town provides a cell phone reuse program where useable phones are donated and distributed to men and women serving in the armed forces. There are several non-profit organizations that will accept working electronics and other materials and make them available to disadvantaged and needy households. If a piece of electronics is not working, there are several companies in the local area that can take them for recycling, however there is usually a disposal fee and the materials would have to be taken to their facility.

For any questions about the City's Recycling Program, please contact Howard Redfearn at 817-276-4240 or by email.

Thank you.
