STORM RECOVERY UPDATE - MAY 1, 2026 (PLEASE SHARE THIS POST)
Debris Removal
Residents may continue to drop off storm debris at City Hall (dumpsters are located behind the Annex building). Additionally, Frontier will deploy four extra trucks tomorrow for our regularly scheduled brush and bulk pickup. Crews will drive every street in the city—no sign-up is required. Simply place debris at the curb for collection.
We understand concerns regarding Parker County’s debris drop-off fees. The County has clarified that charges apply only to construction materials, not vegetative debris. For further clarification, please contact the County directly.

Tomorrow, May 2, starting at 8:00 a.m., multiple food trucks will be set up around the Square providing free meals to anyone impacted by the storm. There will be trucks set up for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. No identification or proof of residency is required.
