This partnership eventually led to the development of a 40,000-square-foot single-stream recycling facility, which officially opened its doors in 2011. Nearly 8,100 tons of recycling were collected from over 29,000 homes in 2016.(33.214841°, -97.133068°)(37.09024°, -95.712891°)

The main role of this position is working to implement the Bike Plan, which was adopted by City Council in 2012. Along with that, they focus on educating the public about benefits of choosing to ride a bike and how to use bike facilities. Included in this are targeted efforts to educate kids on bike and walk safety and encouraging bike riding with annual ride events. The coordinator also works with the engineering and planning departments to facilitate improvements and additions to the City’s infrastructure.(33.214841°, -97.133068°)(37.09024°, -95.712891°)
58459537City of Denton, TXDenton, TXUSANorth America2017PublicBuildingsEnergy efficiency/ retrofit measuresLed by our Sustainability division and supported by Denton Municipal Electric, the City administers several programs that support the community’s ability to learn about and implement energy efficiency measures. On an educational level, our Learn to Conserve program provides ongoing workshops for energy and water conservation tips. From there, we help homeowners and small business gain constructive knowledge about their individual opportunities through a free Energy and Water Audit service. Once property owners have decided which projects are most suitable to them, we support their actions with our GreenSense Energy Efficiency Rebate program. Since 2003, we have performed roughly 2,000 energy audits and granted nearly 5,000 individual rebates, worth approximately $3 million.(33.214841°, -97.133068°)(37.09024°, -95.712891°)
58559537City of Denton, TXDenton, TXUSANorth America2017PublicBuildingsBuilding codes and standardsThe City of Denton has always been an early adopter of the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC). In 2016, the City adopted the 2015 IECC in an effort to enhance our general building codes and standards. With so much growth occurring in our new construction sector, adopting the most up to date energy efficiency codes should go a long way in reducing the community’s long term GHG emissions.(33.214841°, -97.133068°)(37.09024°, -95.712891°)
58659537City of Denton, TXDenton, TXUSANorth America2017PublicWasteRecycling or composting collections and/or facilitiesThe City of Denton offers single-stream curbside recycling and yard waste collection to its residential and commercial property owners. Solid Waste also manages various special collection programs like the ReUse Store, the Home Chemical Center, and the Drug Disposal Kiosk to ensure that hazardous materials either get reused or properly disposed of within the jurisdiction. In collaboration with the Wastewater department, Solid Waste and Recycling diverts bio-solids and yard waste from the landfill to convert the materials into a compost product called Dyno Dirt, which is then sold back to the community.(33.214841°, -97.133068°)(37.09024°, -95.712891°)

Located within Lake Lewisville’s upper floodplain and managed by the City of Denton, it provides residents and visitors with unmatched ecological, educational, and recreational opportunities. The preservation of this space and management of the Center helps the City to promote environmental citizenship, provide a place for people to interact and connect with nature, be a model of integrated learning, and serve as a leading example of conservation and ecosystem restoration.(33.214841°, -97.133068°)(37.09024°, -95.712891°)
59059537City of Denton, TXDenton, TXUSANorth America2017PublicWasteLandfill managementWith support from the University of Texas (Arlington), the City’s landfill is leveraging two high-tech tools to boost the facilities methane gas production, which is currently being captured and distributed to DME customers. Not only will these methods help to decrease our reliance on fossil fuels in the electricity sector, but they have the potential to roughly double the expected lifespan of the landfill itself. Once of these tools is a sophisticated liquid monitoring system that allows more water to be added to the waste, accelerating decomposition and optimizing methane production. The other tool is a manual process called landfill mining, which serves to retrieve, sort and recycle materials that were not originally diverted and remain after the decomposition process.(33.214841°, -97.133068°)(37.09024°, -95.712891°)
