Managing Storm Debris

When a dangerous storm hits, you know what to do, but what about afterwards? Cooperation and proper clean-up procedures can go a long way toward regaining our way of life.

Please be sure to separate your debris into the following categories:

• Yard Debris - including trees and brush
• Building Debris - including construction materials, carpet and furniture
• Bulky Metal Items - including appliances and bikes
• Household Garbage - including food and paper waste
• Household Hazardous Materials - paint, solvents, cleaners, fertilizers and insecticides should be separated with extreme care

And, as you clear debris from your yard and home, please be careful not to block:

• Roadways
• Fire Hydrants
• Utility Boxes

Do your part to help speed up the recovery process!
