Debris Separation / Collection
- Place storm-related debris curbside in the following categories:
1) Household Garbage: Bagged garbage, discarded food, paper, packaging. (Use City-issued trash cart for disposal of bagged rotting waste).
2) Construction Debris: building materials, drywall, lumber, carpet, furniture, etc.
3) Unbagged Vegetative Debris: logs, leaves, tree branches, plants.
4) Appliances: Doors must be sealed/secured.
- Do not block roadways or place debris near trees, poles, or fire hydrants. The first debris removal pass is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, Sept. 7.
Curbside Solid Waste Collection
- Limited curbside solid waste collection resumed on Thursday, Sept. 2.
- The City's solid waste contractors will only be dumping the city-issued 95-gallon trash cart during these initial passes.
- Residents should continue to bag their rotting waste, place in the City-issued trash cart and leave their carts on the curb until they are emptied; it will take some time for sanitation contractors to complete the full, citywide collection cycle.
- Recycling collections have been suspended until further notice.
