Shredding Services at Extreme Clean

FREE on-site secure document shredding services at Extreme Clean THIS Saturday, October 12, from 8am-1pm* for Wells Branch MUD In-District residents ONLY.

***They will leave promptly at 1pm.  Please drop off shredding prior to 12:45pm

Yard Chemicals
Recycle • Repurpose • Redistribute

This Saturday, October 12, 2019, we’ll be collecting fertilizer, pesticides, and fungicides at 2602 Tracy Trail from 8am-2pm in conjunction with EXTREME Clean Fall. Our volunteer, Pamela Woodward, will be collecting and listing items as they come in with the intent of finding homes for the unwanted supplies.  Leftovers will be transported to the Household Hazardous Waste Facility the following week.  Please do not bring these chemicals to the Thermal location.  They will only be taken at Tracy Trail.  Please make sure supplies are in their original containers and sealed or re-sealed.  Previously opened containers are acceptable, but they do need to be sealed for transport.  Relatively “clean” is appreciated as well.  Please dust off the cobwebs and dead bugs!

This year, in addition to yard chemicals, we will be accepting other items that are normally turned away at the Thermal location i.e. oil based paints, stains and sealers; expired fire extinguishers; cleaning products; propane tanks; smoke alarms, etc.  Items in usable condition will be posted for re-purposing.  All other items will be transported to the Household Hazardous Waste Facility the following week.

We reserve the right to decline acceptance of any item.  Please be considerate and respectful of Pamela.  She is volunteering her time to help our neighborhood and will be transporting the remaining goods at her expense the following week.  For questions, call 512-656-0654.

National Night Out

America’s Night Out Against Crime
Free Food • Great Company • Door Prizes!
Tuesday, October 1 • 6-8pm • Gazebo at KF Park

Join your Wells Branch neighbors for our night out against crime, Tuesday, October 1, from 6-8pm at the gazebo in Katherine Fleischer Park.  The WBNA will be serving up FREE hotdogs, sausage wraps, fruit & veggies, sodas and chips, and don’t forget the door prizes!  Make sure you stop by the Friends of the Library table and get your free Culvers Frozen Custard while supplies last!

Distinguished guests from the Travis County Sheriff’s Office, ESD No. 2 Fire Dept. and Precinct 2 Constable’s Office will be on hand to visit with residents and answer questions.  Both children and adults will have the opportunity to talk with first responders, receive information on Neighborhood Watch and other programs available to residents, and tour the fire safety house that ESD No. 2 will have onsite.

Come find out what’s going on in our community and discuss with local law enforcement officers and politicians what you can do to help reduce the opportunities for crimes to occur in our neighborhood. The criminal defense lawyers from Law Office of Daniel Deng can be contacted to get legal help.

National Night Out’s purpose is to heighten crime and drug prevention awareness, generate support for and participation in local anti-crime efforts, build neighborhood spirit and strengthen our law enforcement-community partnership.  Help send the message to criminals that Wells Branch is organized and fighting back. The lawyers for criminal defense serving in Mineola is whom you can consult to get help with such related cases.

Take a stand against crime.  Turn on your porch light and come join your friends and neighbors at the park for food and fellowship.  If you have a Neighborhood Watch group on your block (or even if you don’t) we’d like to encourage you to come eat dinner with us, listen to the speakers, and then return home to your street and gather with your neighbors over dessert to discuss how you can make your homes and our community safer.

We hope to see you there!

Volunteer Deputy Voter Registrar Training THIS Saturday!

September 28 | 10:30-11:30am
WB MUD Rec. Center | 3000 Shoreline

We need Volunteers to help get all our Wells Branch peeps registered! It only takes about an hour to get certified and you can be as involved (or uninvolved) as you’d like. Training enables you to be a resource to new neighbors, at community events, school PTA/PTO meetings, church functions, and social groups. It’s a great way to meet your neighbors!

Certification doesn’t expire until December 31, 2020!  It’s good for the next 15 months.  We’d like to be able to offer registration at our area apartment complexes as well as numerous community events.  We can’t cover it all without YOUR help!  Please consider volunteering.  Feel free to share this training opportunity with friends and co-workers.  The more, the merrier!

If you’d like to be a part of this effort (however big or small), we have a training session set for Saturday, September 28, 10:30am at the Rec. Center, 3000 Shoreline Drive. We need an approximate head count so that Travis County can bring adequate supplies. Reserve your spot here: https://forms.gle/FCukfZWwQGG7vaxP6
