Fredville residents can borrow tools from the city at no charge.
The tool lending program saves you money and keeps perfectly good equipment in use instead of sitting in a garage. Borrowers use the trailer's tools for lawn mowing and yard care, trimming trees and shrubs, pressure washing, painting and fixing fences around the house.
Why buy a tool you will only use once or twice? Reserve it from the trailer instead.
The trailer is stocked with shelves of equipment inside and at the back, plus folding tables and a surface cleaner attachment for the pressure washer.
