WilCo Landfill to Give Priority to Residents with Tornado Debris on Saturday

via Williamson County, TX

Cleaning up after a natural disaster requires the support of the entire community.

Saturday, March 26, there will be a large clean-up effort for those whose homes were damaged by the March 21 tornadoes. One way the community can help is to hold off taking regular yard debris and trash to the Williamson County landfill and give residents with debris from the tornado priority on Saturday.

Saturdays are normally busy days at the landfill. Please help our tornado survivors by giving them priority.
