• The only self-haul option the City of Benbrook names for its residents is Southeast Landfill: "Bulk materials also may be taken to the Southeast Landfill, 6288 Salt Road, Fort Worth, 76140. For pricing and other information, please contact the landfill directly, 817-478-6462." The city publishes no rate, no hours, no proof-of-residency rule and no mattress policy for the site, and points residents at the landfill's own phone number instead. Benbrook residents are not given any city-run drop-off, and the Fort Worth Environmental Collection Center that Benbrook residents may use with proof of residency is for household chemicals only — its published not-accepted list includes "Appliances and electronics", "Building materials" and "Bulk trash and yard waste".
