Separating your Debris
If your home was damaged by this winter storm, it is important to know how to separate and put the debris out for bulk trash. here are a few helpful tips to have debris picked up.
Regular household trash needs to be separate from the storm debris. Continue to put the everyday trash out in the same spot you normally would use.
Storm debris should be placed in a separate area. Put it curbside, without blocking the roadway or storm drains. Do not stack or lean, placing debris near or on trees, poles, or other structures makes removal difficult. This includes fire hydrants and meters.
