General FAQs about NASWC
What is NASWC?
NASWC is the Neighborhood Association of Southwestern Williamson County, located just Northwest of Austin, Texas. You will hear neighbors pronounce our name “NAZ-wik.” Our Association membership is dedicated to promoting the general welfare of the residents and resources of the geographical area as well as protecting property values in the area bounded by 620 to the North, Anderson Mill Road to the South, Hwy 183 to the West and Parmer Lane to the East. This website and all of our work for the welfare of our community and the residents is done by community volunteers.

How can I get the discounted trash pickup?
Step 1 - Join NASWC if you are not already a member.
Step 2 - The discounted trash service for NASWC members is provided by Round Rock Refuse (RRR). You can email the treasurer at or call Treasurer, Linda Finley, at 258-0794. There is also a place on the membership form to indicate that you want to sign up for RRR service.
Step 3 - AFTER we notify you by phone or e-mail that the garbage company has been advised of your membership, YOU must call RRR at 512-255-4980 to establish your service with their company.
Please Note: If you establish service with RRR before your NASWC membership is confirmed, you will have to wait until the next quarterly billing for RRR to give you the discounted rate. So wait until you hear from NASWC, confirming your membership before you call RRR!
I live in a MUD within the NASWC Community. Can I still join?
Yes, NASWC is for all residents in our area.
For only $25 per year, NASWC gives you a voice where you may not have one. For example, in order for a Municipal Utility District to exist, it must agree to not protest annexation proceedings. Thus, residents in that MUD who oppose annexation have no representation fighting for them.
NASWC, however, believes homeowners opinions must be represented at county and city levels. Thus, like our work on Zoning issues, law enforcement issues, or our work with the County, the neighbors in NASWC are prepared to deal with difficult questions which directly affect taxes, property values, or health and safety – like annexation.
If I have an idea. So can I join NASWC and work on my idea through the Association?
More than likely, yes! We believe that if people see the need, then we need to see the people working on it!
