Inorganic Debris Removal Process
Collection of inorganic storm debris items began the week of August 31. Crews are working their way through the entire city, zone by zone, and are picking up as much as they can on their first pass. Removal of storm-damaged items began in outlying areas with limited tree debris. Now, crews are moving into areas that have already had a first round of tree debris removal.
The order that streets are cleared is based on a variety of factors, including the size of the equipment, the narrowness of the street, parked cars blocking debris, traffic volumes, etc. Crews often need to return to cul-de-sacs or dead end streets with smaller pieces of equipment, but all streets will get at least two passes for inorganic debris pickup.
Residents are asked to set debris at the curb, keep the street and sidewalks free of debris, and keep tree debris in separate piles from non-tree debris. Crews will return in multiple waves until neighborhoods have been cleared of debris.
