Empower Ennis Tool Sharing Program

Designed to support residents who do not have the means or ability to maintain their yards, this program allows Ennis residents to apply for assistance and to borrow yard care tools / equipment from the City of Ennis. As this program and the tool supply grow, tools will become available for home repairs as well. If your family, business, or organiation is looking for a way to show your neighbors love in a very real and tangible way, please consider donating to the tool supply or volunteering to assist our elderly and / or disabled neighbors with lawn and home repairs.

Ennis Landfill

Each household that receives City of Ennis trash service is also allowed 2 free refuse disposal days per month at the Ellis County Disposal (Republic Waste Services) landfill. Click here for requirements and restrictions.

Donation Locations

The City of Ennis is diligently working on a sustainable recycling program for the residents of Ennis. In the meantime, city of Ennis residents may use the dumpster for recyclables located at 500 Lake Bardwell Drive, Ennis, TX 75119, during business hours. However, recycling should be a last resort, not a first option. Please consider donating items before tossing them in the trash or recycle bin. Click here for a list of locations that will accept your items.

Report a Litterer

Click here to report litter that has fallen or been thrown from vehicles on Texas highways. TxDOT compares the information through the Department of Motor Vehicles registration database, and when an exact match is located, they send the litterer a Don’t Mess with Texas litterbag along with a friendly reminder to keep their trash off of our roads.
