Full Notification

Thank you for sharing your concerns regarding the debris removal schedule following Hurricane Beryl. We understand the challenges you are facing, and we appreciate your patience and cooperation during this time.

We are pleased to inform you that city leadership has decided to extend the debris removal contractors’ stay until the end of the month. This extension provides everyone with a little more time to move debris to the curb for pick up. However, we kindly ask that you do not delay in getting your debris properly separated and out for pick up.

Monitors will be mapping routes ahead of the debris removal trucks, so the sooner your debris is placed at the curb, the more accurate their maps will be. Your help and attention to this matter are greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding as we work together to restore our community.

Here are a few other reminders:
