RESCHEDULED: Tidy Up Tomball
New Date: May 18, 2024
Hello Tidy Up Tomball Participants,
We hope you are all staying safe with the unexpected heavy thunderstorms we have experienced this week. We carefully evaluated the conditions of the clean-up routes and have determined that the current conditions do not meet our safety standards and therefore we will be rescheduling Tidy Up Tomball to May 18, 2024. We hope you will be able to join us at the new date, with all the flood waters comes an abundance of trash, so while having to reschedule is not ideal, we now can make even more of an impact in cleaning up our beautiful city after these storms!

About Tidy Up Tomball
Tidy Up Tomball, a non-profit founded in 2023, is a community-driven initiative addressing the rising waste issue in Tomball, Texas. Initiated by local leaders determined to combat the impact that litter has on Tomball's allure, the organization is more than a group – it's a movement reflecting unity and shared responsibility. Our goal is to safeguard Tomball's charm for current and future generations, understanding that a cleaner environment enhances overall well-being, economic growth, and quality of life.
Our inaugural event occured in fall of last year and we had over 180 participants and cleaned up approximately 300lbs of trash throughout the community. We are excited to blow these numbers out of the water for our spring 2024 event. Help us Tidy Up Tomball!
