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
