County Residents are advised to gather organic-only debris - i.e. tree limbs - and place it roadside for pickup. Public Works will make two passes through the county once collection begins.
City Residents: The city expects this to be a three to four week process with two passes through the city. Pickup will include organic debris (i.e. tree limbs, leaves, etc) and storm related construction & demolition (C&D). Items cannot be co-mingled. Please keep yard debris and other items separate.
It is important that only storm related debris is eligible for removal; the debris should not be bagged and it should not be mixed with other garbage or yard waste: if you are cleaning up your yard, please separate debris into piles, no bags, only organic materials, do not block right of ways, put at curb.
