Richardson provides Recycling and Waste Management on regular trash collection days.
 

• Richardson's recycling program accepts a wide array of recyclables.
   
• Richardson residents may use the Dallas Area Home Chemical Collection Center to drop off paints, stains, solvents, adhesives, pool chemicals and other home related chemicals.
   
• If you have questions about the City's recycling program check out the Recycling Information page.
   
• Go here for information on Hazardous Disposal or Electronics Recycling.
   
• Through the Brush and Bulky Item Collection (BABIC) program City staff collects organic materials (yard debris) and routes all yard waste to be composted—not to the landfill. For every 100 cubic yards taken to be composted, Richardson obtains 10 tons of bulk compost in return. This rich compost is used for parks, the Sherrill Park golf course and road medians as needed for repairs or soil enrichment.
