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
