These clean ups are to prevent illegal dumping in our area. If you know of a site where illegal dumping is occurring, please contact 641-0533. As a reminder, Texas law requires all loads to be covered with a tarp or some material to prevent items from being blown out onto the road. Due to TCEQ regulations, we will NOT be accepting household hazardous waste.
Take this opportunity to clean up your neighborhood and help your neighbor, if they need it. Folks in town might want to take this opportunity to clean out their alleyways and beside their Dumpsters. Disposal is free and you cannot beat that! If you have a chance, thank the sanitation workers. They deserve our heartfelt appreciation for all the hard work they do to make Brownwood a cleaner and safer place for everyone.
