Storm-Related Debris

Handling Storm-Related Debris:

It can be difficult to know where to begin when severe weather has affected your property. Following certain guidelines can help make for a speedier removal process.

What not to do:

• Debris placed on your property cannot be picked up. Contractors cannot collect items on private property.
• Do not prop debris against poles and trees. This makes it harder for cleanup crews to collect the items.

DO separate your debris:

• Household garbage
• Construction debris
• Vegetation debris
• Household hazardous waste
• “White” goods
• Electronics
