Storm Debris Update, July 26

Solid Waste crews will complete the second sweep to pick up all brush and bulk items north of Town East Blvd. by early next week. Brush and bulk items collection south of Town East Blvd. will begin next week. To date, 10,500 tons of brush have been collected.

Storm debris pickups should be completed by mid-August. After that time, Solid Waste will resume to normal operations.

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 to the City's Convenience Center, located at 3550 Lawson Road

For more information on how to properly separate debris, please see the graphic with this post or visit www.cityofmesquite.com/SeparatingDebris.

This was the most widespread storm we have experienced in 30 years. Crews have worked tirelessly to meet our cleanup goals. We appreciate their efforts and your patience during this severe storm aftermath.
