The numbers are in—Richardson’s Trash Bash 2026 was an incredible display of what a community can accomplish together:
- 384 volunteers participated in the litter clean-up portion of the event. Among them, there were 33 groups involved in the clean-up efforts.
- 1355 vehicles entered the drive-thru event
- 60 gallons of cooking oil and grease were collected
- 1,000 bags of compost and mulch (500 bags each) were distributed
- 250 emergency preparedness bags were distributed
- 739 pairs of eyeglasses were donated
- Network received 649 pounds of donations
The cleanup continues Saturday, May 9, when the Richardson Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association (RCPAAA) hosts its Spring Electronics Recycling and Paper Shredding event at the Heights Church, 201 W Renner Rd. from 10 a.m.-2 p.m.
