During the holidays we would like to remind residents to be diligent and double-check all information before sending money, gift cards or gifts. While new scams pop up every day, criminals are especially busy this time of year.

 

Recently, a resident received an email from a neighbor asking for help buying a birthday present for her niece. The resident discovered that her neighbor's email had been hacked and scammers were using that email to ask for money from all of her neighbor's contacts. Also, every year seniors send thousands of dollars to scammmers assuming they are helping their grandchildren out of an emergency situation. An example of one such scam involves a call from a “lawyer” or “court official” asking for bail money for a grandchild.

Shooting some hoops is becoming more popular here in Sun City and due to our pole/ backboard being damaged in the Social Center parking lot, we have moved it to the parking area at the Legacy Hills Pavilion. So, remember if you want to shoot a few hoops, grab your basketball and head to the Legacy Pavilion. If you are interested in joining the basketball interest group, please email Ron Sears at [email protected]. Our ultimate goal is to have a permanent half-court set-up in the future for this activity.

 

Did you know that Texas Disposal Systems will pick-up large, bulky items for you twice a year?

 

You can call for a special pick up for larger trash items that will not fit into your cart or bulky items such as furniture, mattresses, toilets, refrigerators and washers/dryers. In-city residents are allotted two (2) free bulky waste curbside pick-ups per year.

 

Call Texas Disposal Systems (TDS) at (512) 930-1715 to schedule a curbside bulky waste pickup. For a fee, customers may bring bulky wastes to the Collection Station at 250 W.L. Walden Drive; fees will be assessed at the gatehouse.

City Holiday String-Light Recycling

 

The City of Georgetown and Texas Disposal Systems have partnered to offer free holiday string-light recycling. Residents can drop off their old or broken string lights through Jan. 31. Last year residents recycled more than 1,300 pounds of Christmas lights.

 

The City of Georgetown is improving efforts to reach all customers with important time-sensitive information. Examples of this would be an electric or water outage, road closures, boil water notices, etc. We are asking Georgetown residents to participate in a survey to help us refine our communications in a manner that works better for everyone.
