Recycle. It’s fun!

The date: Saturday Oct. 13. The goal: clear out your junk and get it to the recycling event, between 9 a.m. and noon at Lake Highlands United Methodist, 9015 Plano. Proceeds from recycled goods recovered at the event, put on by the LHUMC Green Team and Bubb Fundraising, will be used for energy-saving improvements to church property.
