RICHMOND, TX — It's the spring cleaning season, and that means it's also time to gather the clutter of old, outdated and unwanted documents to be shredded and destroyed.

On Saturday, April 6, Keep Richmond Beautiful — an affiliate of Keep Texas Beautiful — is sponsoring a Document Shredding Event with two Pro Shred trucks at the Richmond City Hall parking lot.

The trucks will be there from 9 am to noon. This event is for documents, not electronics, and for residents who receive utilities bill from City of Richmond.
