City of Fort Worth introduces new initiative to support residents with free tools for property maintenance
Fort Worth, Texas – The City of Fort Worth has launched the Fort Worth Mobile Tool Shed, a free tool-sharing program designed to help residents maintain their properties more easily. This initiative aims to provide homeowners and renters with essential yard tools at no cost, making lawn care and home improvement projects more accessible while reducing the risk of code violations.
The Mobile Tool Shed program is currently being piloted in the Worth Heights and Seminary neighborhoods, with plans to expand to the Fairhaven neighborhood soon. The City of Fort Worth hopes this initiative will make property maintenance stress-free and affordable for all residents, regardless of income level or access to transportation.
Easy Access to Essential Yard Tools
Residents participating in the program can borrow a variety of yard maintenance tools, including:
- Lawn mowers
- String trimmers
- Edgers
- Blowers
- Leaf rakes
- Loppers
- And more
With these resources, residents can keep their yards well-maintained, helping to enhance neighborhood appearances and prevent potential city code violations.
How the Mobile Tool Shed Works
Signing up for the Mobile Tool Shed is simple. Eligible residents can register online or by calling 817-392-1234. Once registered, they can schedule a free delivery of the tools they need, which will be dropped off at their doorstep on Friday. Borrowers have the entire weekend to complete their yard work before city staff picks up the tools the following Monday.
This convenient system ensures that residents have ample time to complete their projects without worrying about transportation or rental costs.
Free Service Making a Big Difference
One of the standout features of the Mobile Tool Shed program is that it is entirely free. City funding ensures that all tools are available to residents on a first-come, first-served basis. Since there is no cost involved, homeowners and renters in participating neighborhoods are encouraged to sign up early to secure the equipment they need.
While the pilot program is limited to select neighborhoods, city officials plan to expand it citywide in the future, allowing more Fort Worth residents to take advantage of this valuable service.
A Community Effort to Keep Fort Worth Beautiful
The success of the Mobile Tool Shed would not be possible without the support of community partners, including Home Depot, Lowe’s, Walmart, and other local organizations. These partnerships play a crucial role in helping Fort Worth residents maintain their properties, fostering a cleaner, safer, and more vibrant community.
By eliminating financial barriers to property maintenance, this initiative not only enhances individual properties but also contributes to the overall beautification of Fort Worth neighborhoods.
How to Get Involved
Residents interested in participating in the program or learning more about available tools can visit the City of Fort Worth’s website or call 817-392-1234. By taking advantage of this free service, community members can improve their properties, enhance their neighborhoods, and contribute to a cleaner and more well-maintained Fort Worth.
