Managing Storm Debris


Managing Storm Debris

When a dangerous storm hits, you know what to do, but what about afterwards?  Cooperation and proper clean-up procedures can go a long way toward regaining our way of life.

Please be sure to separate your debris into the following categories:

  dot Yard Debris - including trees and brush
  dot Building Debris - including construction materials, carpet and furniture
  dot Bulky Metal Items - including appliances and bikes
  dot Household Garbage - including food and paper waste
  dot Household Hazardous Materials - paint, solvents, cleaners, fertilizers and insecticides should be separated with extreme care.

And, as you clear debris from your yard and home, please be careful not to block:

  dot Roadways
  dot Fire Hydrants
  dot Utility Boxes

Do your part to help speed up the recovery process!
