FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
November 20, 2025

TOMBALL, TX – Tidy Up Tomball wrapped up its Fall 2025 Community Cleanup with record-breaking results, showcasing the power of local volunteers coming together for a cleaner, brighter city.

This fall’s event, held on November 8th, brought out over 400 volunteers, the largest turnout in Tidy Up Tomball history, who worked together to collect 266 bags of trash, totaling 13,300 pounds across 56 routes all over town. Organizers report that this single event picked up almost as many pounds of trash as the previous four cleanups combined, marking a major milestone for the initiative and its impact.

“We are incredibly proud of our community and what we accomplished together,” said Tidy Up Tomball President, Amanda Trickey, “Seeing more than 400 volunteers show up to care for Tomball speaks volumes about the heart of this city. Every bag filled represents cleaner streets, safer spaces, and a stronger sense of pride in where we live.”

Volunteer feedback continues to reflect the impact and organization behind the event. One volunteer shared, “Very well organized, helpful volunteers, and a lovely idea to help make our community beautiful!”

A special thank you to Tidy Up Partner, Salem Lutheran Church, for their continued support, generosity, and hands-on involvement. Their dedication and partnership have been instrumental in the continued success and growth of the cleanup efforts.

We also extend our sincere gratitude to the City of Tomball Public Works, Police Department, and Fire Department for their essential role in event operations, logistics, and safety. Their commitment to serving the community helps make these large-scale cleanup efforts possible.
