The city of Richardson shipped out its annual Blue Bag Letters on March 15 to be delivered to residents sometime this week.
Through the Blue Bag Program, Richardson homeowners are advised to combine all of their recyclable material into one bag and set it outside for weekly pickup. The city has recycling pickup scheduled Monday-Thursday for different areas of the city.
Items that are accepted include glass bottles and containers, corrugated cardboard and boxboard, pots and pans, newspapers and more. A full list of accepted recyclable items can be found below.
Once received, the letters can be taken to one of several city facilities to be redeemed for two rolls of 26 blue recycling bags. There is no expiration date on the letters, with past year’s letters still redeemable.
