Sachse’s Fall X-Treme Green Collection Is Saturday, Sept. 19 — and the Location Has Changed
If you have been stacking old electronics in the garage, holding onto paint cans you will never open again, or letting a broken appliance take up floor space, Saturday, September 19 is the day to clear it out. The City of Sachse is hosting its fall X-Treme Green household waste collection event from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Heritage Park, 4408 Hudson Drive — and that address is worth noting because it marks a change from previous years.
The event runs in coordination with Community Waste Disposal, the city’s waste services partner, which handles the specialized collection streams that go well beyond a standard curbside pickup.
What You Can Drop Off
The event is designed to handle the categories of waste that have no easy outlet on a regular trash day. Here is the full breakdown of what is accepted:
General waste handled by city staff:
- Household trash and debris
- Brush and yard waste
- Large appliances
Specialized collection handled by Community Waste Disposal:
- Electronic waste (computers, monitors, televisions, phones, and similar devices)
- Household hazardous waste (paint, solvents, pesticides, batteries, and related materials)
- Document shredding
The shredding service alone makes this a useful stop even for residents who do not have a garage full of junk. Sensitive financial and personal documents tend to accumulate faster than people expect, and on-site shredding removes the guesswork about whether a home shredder is actually sufficient.
The New Location: Heritage Park at 4408 Hudson Drive
This fall’s event moves to Heritage Park, which sits at 4408 Hudson Drive. If you have attended previous X-Treme Green events at other Sachse locations, update your navigation app accordingly. The park provides enough open space to handle vehicle traffic flow without the bottlenecks that can build up at smaller sites, though showing up earlier in the five-hour window — closer to 8 a.m. than noon — is always a practical move at high-volume drop-off events.
The event runs from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., so the cutoff is firm. Waste accepted after 1 p.m. is not guaranteed, and staff will begin breaking down collection areas as the window closes.
Why This Event Matters for Sachse Households
Sachse is a growing city, and with growth comes an increasing number of households cycling through electronics, appliances, and renovation debris. Standard residential trash collection does not cover most of what X-Treme Green accepts. Without a dedicated collection event, many of those items end up in landfills in ways that create long-term environmental costs, or they sit in garages and driveways because residents are not sure where else to take them.
The hazardous waste component carries particular weight. Improper disposal of paint, motor oil, pesticides, and cleaning chemicals can contaminate soil and groundwater. The X-Treme Green format puts a certified disposal option directly in front of Sachse residents at no charge, which removes the most common barrier: inconvenience.

What to Expect When You Arrive
Plan for a drive-through style setup. City staff and CWD crews typically direct vehicles to specific lanes based on what is being dropped off — general debris to one area, electronics to another, hazardous materials to a separate, staffed station. Having your items sorted before you arrive will speed up the process considerably, both for you and for the vehicles behind you.
For document shredding, bring materials in boxes or bags that staff can transfer directly. Most events of this type shred on-site, meaning you can watch the destruction happen before you leave if that is important to you.

September 19, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., Heritage Park at 4408 Hudson Drive. Five hours is a workable window, but it closes without extension. If your household has been waiting for a practical, no-cost way to offload the items that do not belong in a standard bin, this is the Saturday to get it done.
