City of Plano Hosts a Spring Cleaning Event for Community, One Stop Drop
Plano, TX (PRWEB) April 29, 2014 -- The Plano community is welcome to join in the festivities at the One Stop Drop Event by donating clothes, books, pet products, eye glasses, and bikes. DFWshredding.com, the secure on-site shredding company will also be available to shred boxes of documents, with a two box limit (13”x16”x26”) per household.

All collected donations are given new life and returned back to the community to help support great causes," said, Jill Ybarra, Sustainability and Environmental Education Coordinator at City of Plano.
New and clean used clothing (men’s, women’s and children’s clothing and shoes) will be donated to the World Wear Project. Bikes in all conditions will be accepted and donated to Bikes for Tykes, an organization who refurbishes bikes for kids in need and Bicycle Recycle, an organization dedicated to giving bikes to people needing transportation for work.
