Hurricane Season is Here – Stay Safe & Follow Waste Guidelines

As we enter peak hurricane season, your safety is our top priority. Please review the following waste collection guidelines to help us serve you efficiently after a storm:

First Week After the Storm

• Priority Collection: We focus on removing perishable waste (e.g., spoiled food) due to power outages.

• Regular Trash Pickup: Resumes as conditions allow.

• Lawn Waste: Temporarily suspended during the emergency phase.

After the Emergency Phase

• Grass Clippings: Use clear or brown paper bags (recommended, not required).

• Household Trash: Use white bags (recommended, not required).

• Important: Keep all bags separate from storm debris. (recommended to be in black bags)

What Counts as Storm Debris?

Storm debris includes materials from hurricanes, floods, or windstorms, such as:

• Fallen trees, branches, and leaves

• Damaged fences, roofing, or water-damaged household items

How to Prepare Storm Debris

• Place storm debris at the curb, separate from regular trash.

• Refer to the diagram (see picture) for proper placement.

Important Reminders

• Storm debris and construction/remodeling waste are not included in standard trash service.
