Azle council approves swifter removal of unapproved donation bins

Unregistered bins beware!

During a March 4 Azle City Council meeting, council members voted to amend the city’s donation bin ordinance in order to more swiftly deal with repeat violators.

In September 2023, the city of Azle amended its ordinances to require permits for donation bins within city limits in order to curb perceived problems. Under current city ordinances, a donation bin is any bin, container, building, trailer or other receptacle equal to or larger than 45 cubic feet that is intended for use as a collection point for donated clothing or other household materials.
