Subject: DFW Reclaimers Recycling Information
Attachments: BusinessIntro2.pdf
Good morning,
Attached you will find a little more information about our company and the scope of our work. Included is
a general list of items we accept. Honestly, there isn't any kind of electronic item we don't take. If it ever
plugged in, or powered on we can accept it from a computer to a curling iron. We accept all items at no
charge, except for televisions. There will be a fee of $1 an inch for TVs, so for example a 27" TV would be
$27 dollars to recycle.
If you have a website link for your event, or an event flyer please let me know so I can promote the event
on our website as well.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Thank you,
Kevin McCanlies

Discuss and consider action necessary for a community Arbor Day event

Kelly Cooper, Director of Human Resources
III. Summary:
Prior years we have hosted an Arbor Day event in November. Last year we did this in conjunction with the
clean up and brought in the educational bird program as well as TXU supplied Trees. This year it might be fun
to offer another library program which includes making seed bombs, then taking a hayride through town and
throwing these in our medians and along the roadways.
The commission should discuss whether to have an Arbor Day Event, what we would like to plan, budget,
marketing, volunteers, etc.

I. Subject:
Discuss and consider approval of Adopt -a -Spot requests
11. Originated by:
Kelly Cooper, Director of Human Resources
III. Summary:
KKB has received two requests for the Adopt -A -Spot program. The first is from the Middleton Family. They are
requesting to adopt the last median on Sublett Road. This is in the area of the Middleton family farm. The
proposal includes picking up trash and weed eating on a weekly basis.
The second request is from the Kennedale Youth Advisory Council (KYAC). They are requesting to adopt is the
round at Wildcat Way and Sublett Road. The connection that the KYAC has a connection with this area and is
proposing to keep it clean and tidy on a monthly basis.
I am currently working with Centerline Supply, LTD to coordinate the sign. The board will need to formally
approve each spot prior to a sign being placed. The sign cost will be approximately $85.00 paid by KKB.
