Texas Recycles Day

The City's Solid Waste Management Department will celebrate Texas Recycles Day from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 15 at Woodlawn Lake Park, 1103 Cincinnati.

Texas Recycles Day is a free event that takes place annually to help raise public awareness of the economic and environmental benefits of recycling. The theme for this year's Texas Recycles Day is “It all comes back to you" with an emphasis on the four Rs: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Re-buy.

Recycling not only decreases the amount of garbage thrown away each year, but it also conserves natural resources, saves energy and reduces the amount of landfill space used. During the event, apartment residents that do not have recycling at their complexes will be able to bring their recyclable items to the park.

During the day-long event, residents can drop off gently used clothing, furniture, televisions, and tennis shoes. Residents are also invited to drop by the various informational booths that will be available. Composting classes will be given and live entertainment and food will be available. This is an event for the entire family.
