Free Sprinkler Evaluations Still Available 

There are still several spots left this month to get a free sprinkler evaluation! The City of Richardson is partnering with the North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD) to offer this pilot program that offers free residential sprinkler system evaluations to Richardson residents as part of conservation efforts to protect our future water supply.

Paint Cans: Not Welcome in Recycling 

Updating your home with a fresh coat of paint? Doing some spring cleaning in your garage and getting rid of old paint cans?

Options Available for Year-Round Pharmaceutical Disposal  

If you missed the Richardson Police Department’s drug take back event last weekend (which coincided with the Drug Enforcement Administration’s spring National Prescription Drug Take Back Day), the DEA has a searchable online database of local sites that accept used pharmaceuticals at their pharmacies year-round for disposal.
