Round Rock To Start Picking Up Limbs Downed During Winter Surge

ROUND ROCK, TX — The city will be developing a plan to pick up tree limbs that were downed during the winter blast that arrived on Thursday, officials said.

On Friday, city officials had described in an advisory a plan to schedule free residential pickup for residents with more than seven bundles by mid-week. But in consultation with Round Rock Refuse and with a better understanding of the widespread extent of the issue, that plan is not feasible.

Downed trees on public streets and sidewalks

The city’s transportation crews are prioritizing removing brush and limbs that have fallen into roadways, and will only remove debris in the city right-of-way. Limbs that are blocking roads or sidewalks can be reported by calling (512) 688-0398. Any fallen trees on private property are the responsibility of the property owner.

Any tree limbs that have fallen on electrical lines should be reported to Oncor at 1-888-313-4747.
