 Saturday, March 8 is the curbside district cleanup event for District Two! If you live in District Two, all you need to do is place your bulky waste or yard waste at your curb before 7 a.m., and our crews will collect it for you.
What If I Missed the District Cleanup?
This is the last District Cleanup event of the year. However, City of Waco utility customers can still request a bulky waste pickup anytime throughout the year. To request a pickup:
 Daylight Savings Time in Texas starts at 2 a.m. on Sunday, March 9. Move your clocks forward one hour.
The Waco Fire Department also reminds residents this is a great time to change the smoke alarm batteries in your homes and to test them. About two-thirds of residential fire deaths occur in homes with no smoke alarms or non–working smoke alarms.
Through the Home Fire Campaign, Waco Fire, in partnership with the American Red Cross, offers free smoke alarm installation and fire safety education.

community need. HOME funded activities must provide affordable housing to low- and moderate income households.
