Multi-Family Program |

The Paws to Recycle Program is a way for residents to support the North Richland Hills Animal Adoption & Rescue Center and be environmentally responsible. Through this program, residents can donate newspaper and aluminum cans to the center. The newspaper will be reused to line the animal cages or shredded for bedding. The cans will be cashed in at a recycling center with the proceeds used to further the programs at the Animal Adoption & Rescue Center. Residents may also drop off newspaper, magazines, office paper, junk mail, catalogs and colored paper in the Abitibi bins located in the Wal-Mart parking lots on N.E. Loop 820 and North Tarrant Parkway .

Composting Information |

The garden is full of native plants, as well as perennials, annuals, and herbs that are well adapted to our area. Also available is information on water conservation in the landscape.
