Storm Debris & Yard Waste Collection FAQs
When debris haulers have completed the final pass of your neighborhood, residents may continue to place vegetative debris out for removal during their regular yard waste pickup. Debris must meet regular yard waste pickup requirements - containerized, neatly stacked, or bundled. Or residents can take their vegetative debris to the South County or Northwest County Solid Waste Facilities. Construction and demolition debris must be taken to one of the five Community Collection Centers.
