KEEP FLOWER MOUND BEAUTIFUL

KFMB Spring Trash-Off & Recycling Drop-Off

Saturday, April 9, 3411 Peters Colony Road, 8:30 a.m. - 1 p.m. Join KFMB for a morning of spring cleaning, recycling, and fun! The goal of the semi-annual Trash-Off is to remove trash from as many parks, trails, waterways, and roadways throughout Flower Mound as possible. There will be giveaways and prizes for the most trash and recyclables collected. The Spring Festival will follow the Trash-Off and will include a variety of booths and fun activities, including a climbing wall and inflatable obstacle course. Recycling opportunities include: paper shredding, electronic waste, small batteries, clothing, textiles, housewares, books, eye glasses, medications, pens, mechanical pencils, markers, plastic grocery bags, plastic film, clean plastic utensils, and wire hangers. The fair is open to all ages and participation in the trash cleanup is not required for attendance, although greatly appreciated! Pets are also welcome! Bags to Benches Initiative

KFMB is collecting plastic shopping bags and plastic film to recycle. Bins are located at the Community Activity Center, the Library, and the Senior Center. KFMB receives a park bench every six months if 500 pounds of plastic bags and film are collected.
