The Richardson Citizen Police Academy Alumni Association (RCPAAA) will hold our Fall Electronic Recycling and Paper Shredding event on Saturday, October 25th, from 10:00 am until 2:00 pm in the parking lots of The Heights Church, SW Corner of Renner Road and US 75 in Richardson. The entrance to the event is from Renner Road.

We accept most electronic items – if it has or had a cord or was used with an electronic item, it will probably be allowed. The exceptions are the old tube-style TVs / monitors, as well as batteries. No liquids or hazardous materials will be accepted.

Paper shredding is designed to help prevent identity theft. The recycling and shredding services for up to five (5) boxes or bags are free to local citizens, but contributions are encouraged. A minimum donation of $5.00 / box is requested for an excess of five (5) boxes. A box is described as a standard banker’s box, which is typically approximately 10x12x18 inches. Only paper documents containing personal information should be brought for shredding. Other paper items, such as newspapers, magazines, and books, should be placed in blue recycling bags and set out for recycling pickup by the City.

This recycling event is free (for up to 5 boxes of shredding) and open to anyone residing in the North Texas area. Please note that the RCPAAA incurs over $4000 in costs for providing the shredding trucks for this event. The RCPAAA is a nonprofit organization that supports the Richardson Police Department (RPD) and was founded in 1993. Donations will be solicited to help cover the cost of this event and to support the RPD. Among the activities we sponsor at the Richardson PD are our RPD Appreciation Meals, scholarships to children of RPD employees (both current and retired), and our Retired K-9 Vet Assistance program.
