Continue reading to find out the answers to your questions about OneDAY Dallas. If you are interested in having the Sanitation Department attend an upcoming PAHA meeting to answer questions or to explain the program or how to recycle, please contact president@peaksaddition.org.
In Peak’s Suburban Addition, property owners doing or planning on doing rehabilitation work on their properties are eligible to receive an exemption from the city portion of their property taxes for 10-years!
For example, if you have a house worth $100,000 if you spend $25,000 on rehabilitation of the house, the city can zero the city portion of your property taxes, which amounts to savings of about 1/3 of your tax bill!
Qualified expenditures include labor and materials for interior or exterior repair or replacement of features that help preserve a structure, such as, but not limited to, roofing, windows, sheetrocking, carpentry, electrical, plumbing, mechanical, flooring, and replacing fixtures such as sinks, bath tubs and toilets.
Just doing a little work? There’s an exemption for you too.

Unlike a fine pair of dress shoes, which hold out the promise of being well-cared for and re-soled, the athletic shoe is inherently disposable. Can it really be curtains for these stalwart old friends? Must they go off and haunt the landfill?
Athletic shoes present real obstacles to recycling because, like tennis balls, they are usually made of composite materials and this really complicates any contemplation of a new life.
Fortunately, Nike has really stepped up to the plate on this one. For years now they have been running the innovative Reuse-A-Shoe program. Old athletic shoes of any brand can be dropped off at collection points or sent directly to Nike in Oregon. The donated shoes are ground up to make soft surfaces for tracks, playgrounds, tennis courts, etc. In Dallas Luke's Locker at 3607 Oak Lawn (214-528-1290) can accept small quantities, 10 pairs or less.
Or send directly to Nike:

And tennis balls? You might donate used tennis balls to local animal shelters; the dogs need something to do while they are penned up.
Just 10 minutes south of downtown Dallas is Rogers Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, a non-profit wildlife rescue organization that nurses animals back to health to be released back into the wild. If they cannot be released, Rogers will keep them and raise them, or possibly find another home for them at a zoo or elsewhere.
