City Announces Vessel Turn-In Program (VTIP)
A FREE Year Round Event for Proper and Legal Boat Disposal
The City’s Solid Waste Services staff and Code Enforcement officers are teaming up with the Texas General Land Office and Texas Parks and Wildlife to highlight the year round Vessel Turn-In Program or “V-TIP”. The program is available Monday through Saturday from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. at the J.C. Elliott Transfer Station located at Highway 286 and Ayers Street.
VTIP is a FREE program providing residents the chance to dispose of unwanted or inoperable boats, wave runners, jet skis, or boat trailers safely and legally.
Since 2017, the area VTIP program has collected 176 vessels, 65 trailers, and nearly 100 gallons of oil.
