If you’ve been wheeling your trash and recycling bins to the curb, only to wonder if the trucks will ever show up, you’re not alone.
Lately, Benbrook residents have been dealing with inconsistent pickup days. Trash and recycling are sometimes collected a day late or on different days altogether. Some folks have waited up to three weeks for bulk pickup despite repeated calls.
The frustration is real. No one likes leaving bags and bins out for days, especially when weather or neighborhood debris gets involved. Some residents have even reported broken trash cans or trash blowing into yards while waiting for pickup. And with only one truck running bulk routes, delays are stacking up fast.
City officials have acknowledged the issue, pointing to heavy rains and occasional truck breakdowns as contributing factors. But many residents are simply asking for better communication. A timely update—via email, text, or even a city Facebook post—would go a long way in clearing up the confusion.
If you’re experiencing repeated delays, try calling Cecilia Ventura at 817-249-6008 for help.
For now, residents are encouraged to stay patient, report missed pickups, and hope for more consistency as Benbrook’s growth continues to stretch city services.
