Tornado cleanup event scheduled for Saturday

March 25, 2022
1:17 pm

UPDATE (10:15 a.m. 3/26): Cleanup efforts are finishing up on the west neighborhoods. ALL volunteers from the general public for the shift starting at noon should report to Dell Technologies Building #3 (2300 Greenlawn Blvd.). Do not report to the Success High School parking lot.

The City of Round Rock is inviting the public to participate in post-tornado cleanup efforts in Kensington and Windy Park neighborhoods on Saturday, March 26.

Volunteers will clear construction debris and tree limbs piled at the curbs to dumpsters and rear load garbage trucks located throughout the neighborhood. This event will require manual labor; DO NOT bring children under the age of 14 or pets. Volunteers should be prepared to walk into the neighborhoods and bring gloves, safety glasses, close-toed shoes, sun protection and water. Trucks, trailers, chainsaws or any other equipment are NOT needed at this event.

Volunteers will be accepted in two shifts and can arrive at either of the event’s two meet-up locations between 8-8:30 a.m. or 12-12:30 p.m.:

Dell Technologies Building #3, 2300 Greenlawn Blvd.
Success High School, 500 Gattis School Rd.

Check-in points will be located in each parking lot, and volunteers will walk into the neighborhoods. Roadways will be extremely congested; due to the need to efficiently haul dumpsters in and out of neighborhoods, volunteers cannot park on residential streets within the neighborhood.

DO:

Bring work gloves, safety glasses, close-toed shoes, sun protection and water
Park at Dell 3 or Success High School
Look for volunteer check-in tents
Be prepared to walk on foot into the neighborhoods
Arrive between 8-8:30 a.m. OR 12-12:30 p.m.

DO NOT:

Bring children under 14 or pets
Park in the neighborhoods
Bring trucks, trailers, chainsaws or any other equipment

The City has already organized large volunteer groups to provide cleanup efforts in Forest Bluff, South Creek and Turtle Creek neighborhoods, so no general public volunteers are needed in those neighborhoods on Saturday.
