The City’s annual Trash Bash was held last Saturday, helping to clean the environment (and closets) of trash as well as items that can be reused or recycled. In addition, the first “Richardson Replants” tree giveaway of the spring season was held.
This year’s event offered drive-thru drop-off/pick-up opportunities at both First United Methodist Church Richardson and The Heights Church, and group trash/recycling cleanup opportunities.
Here’s a look at Trash Bash 2025 by the numbers:
- 85 gallons of used cooking oil/grease was collected for making biofuels
