How does it work?
Tidy Up Tomball is open to businesses, schools, organizations, friends, and families. Everyone is encouraged participate! Teams will be assigned to pick-up trash in a specific area of town. Teams will meet at kick-off at 8am the day of the event to sign-in and pick up their information packet and materials. After kick-off, teams will go to their assigned clean-up area as indicated on the maps in their information packet.
Once the assigned area is cleaned, teams will place all of the trash bags in the specified area for the City of Tomball to pick up later in the day. Once the assigned area is completed, teams will return to kick-off to check-out their supplies and enjoy a free lunch.

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.
