The Hutto Police Department launched a Tool Loan Program this week, allowing residents to borrow common yard and home tools for free.

The gist

Hutto residents can borrow tools for up to three days to help with home maintenance and code compliance. Tools includes lawn mowers, leaf blowers, pressure washers, hedge trimmers, edgers, branch trimmers and drills.

How it works

Residents can pick up tools from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. on Tuesdays and must be returned between 10 a.m.-3 p.m. on Thursdays. In order to borrow a tool, residents must have a valid driver’s license with a Hutto address and their current utility bill showing the same address. The police department is located at 401 Front St., Hutto.
