NEIGHBOR DEBRIS CLEAN-UP
As a reminder, neighbors should separate hurricane debris into five categories and place debris curbside, without blocking roadways or storm drains. In the event of rain, blocked storm drains could cause flooding in your area. Click here for detailed information regarding debris separation, removal, and set out guidelines.
