Tool-sharing program can help you get jobs done
THE CITY’S CODE COMPLIANCE DEPARTMENT Tool Sharing Program offers Arlington residents a variety of tools and equipment to check-out free of charge to assist with property cleanup and home improvement.
Simply visit the Tool Sharing Program website (arlingtontx.gov/city_hall/departments/code_ compliance/we_can_help/tool_sharing_program), browse the icons to choose a category that best suits your need, and fill out the online form to borrow a tool or piece of equipment to get the job done.
“I’m very excited to see a Tool Sharing Program being established for the residents of Arlington,” says Linda Finley, resident of Fish Creek community. “Not everyone has a vehicle large enough to transport a lawn mower or power washer, or the funds to purchase/rent these items. The best part is being able to reserve the equipment, know it will be delivered and picked up without having to leave the house.”
Once your request is received, city officials will schedule drop-off from the program’s mobile tool trailer at your Arlington residence. Items may be borrowed for up to three calendar days.
