How do I dispose of trash and waste after a hurricane or storm?
Summary
Learn how to properly dispose of debris from storms or inclement weather.
Organizing the quick and safe removal of storm debris and restoring services takes careful planning.
Follow these steps to ensure a seamless process.
- Separate regular household waste from storm debris.
- Everyday items - including food, recyclables and other household waste should be disposed of normally
- Storm debris - including tree limbs, soiled carpeting, damaged fencing and appliances should be placed curbside in separate piles
Separating waste properly will allow us to collect household garbage more quickly and safely and help prevent odors and other safety hazards from impacting your surrounding area. Separation is also necessary to allow other firms to collect storm debris in accordance with arrangements made by local municipalities, counties or FEMA.
We will restart curbside trash and recycling collection of normal household waste as soon as it is safe to do so.
