Good morning, Round Rock.

Round Rock opened the Republic Services Sustainability Pod today at Play for All Park to teach children about recycling and renewable energy through a hands-on recycling truck slide, educational play elements and a wheelchair-accessible merry-go-round.

The project was made possible by a partnership with Republic Services and the Play for All Foundation, supported by a $250,000 National Neighborhood Promise grant.
