Storm Debris Update, July 19

The second sweep to collect storm debris and bulk items began last weekend and is currently picking up from north to south.

It is our hope that residential trash collection will return to normal in early August. Until normal operations resume, Solid Waste will not be accepting special requests for pick-ups. Our total storm debris collection is at 9,500 tons.

Please make sure not to mix your household garbage with you bulk items.

Please help us speed up the process by:

• Separating bulk trash and other materials from the brush
• Making sure vehicles are not blocking brush piles
• Monitoring any brush piles so that they do not block the street
• Remembering you can take vegetative debris and bulk items to the City's Convenience Center, located at 3550 Lawson Road.
