Utility Box Art Project

Nineteen local artists and community members were selected by City Council and the Hurst Community Arts and Historic Landmark Preservation Committee to transform Hurst utility boxes into art!?We received so many fantastic submissions that the project was approved to expand from six utility boxes to nineteen. The winning artists, ranging in age from 9 to 89, chose to showcase the theme ?Community built on connection? by highlighting Hurst parks, history, facilities, and much more. The vinyl wraps of each of the nineteen designs were recently installed on the utility boxes across Hurst. You'll be able to find out more information on the artists and their work on our website in the coming weeks.

We're thrilled to have art showcased across our city in this unique way!

Cease the Grease available through January 4

This holiday season, we're making it easier than ever to Cease the Grease! The City of Hurst encourages residents to collect and recycle or safely dispose of all used fats, oils, and grease. When these items are washed down the drain, it sticks inside pipes. This hardening eventually leads to build-up that clogs and damages the sanitary sewer system.

You can recycle it for FREE at our drop-off location at the north end of the Service Center parking lot at 2001 Precinct Line Rd through January 4.
