Our Spring 2025 Recycling Event will be held on Saturday, March 29th. We have a new location – the parking lots at the Heights Church, 201 W. Renner Road (SW corner of Renner Rd. and Central Expressway).

The Spring Electronics Recycling and Paper Shredding Event is our largest fundraiser.

The RCPAAA works hard to keep this event free to the public, but it is also expensive to produce. The cost to provide the shredding trucks is around $4000. You can help offset these expenses by donating to our Back The Blue fund, which will allow us to continue supporting the men and women of the Richardson Police Department.

The Electronics Recycling and Paper Shredding Event begins at 10:00 am and closes at 2:00 pm.

All types of electronics will be accepted EXCEPT old style CRT monitors and televisions.

Paper shredding is primarily for residents of North Texas and is free. There is a 5 box limit for free shredding. We ask that you donate $5/box over the five boxes for free limit. A box is understood to mean a standard “banker’s box” which is normally about 10x12x16.

This event is held in conjunction with the City of Richardson’s Trash Bash.

This event is our major fundraiser for the year. While the event is free, donations will be solicited to help us support the Richardson Police Department. (RPD).

The RCPAAA pays for the shredding trucks and the cost to provide those trucks increased dramatically for 2021. As a result, we may not be able to provide as many trucks as before. Once the trucks are full, we can no longer shred paper. We encourage everyone to arrive earlier rather than wait until the end to drop off their documents for shredding.

The RCPAAA is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that supports the RPD. We provide meals on special occasions and “goody bags” for those officers and employees who work during the holidays. Scholarships are awarded to children of RPD employees who are entering college. We also provide help covering medical expenses for retired RPD K9s.
