Crews will be NOT be picking up yard debris on Wednesday, August 30, 2023. Residents are encouraged not to generate any additional debris. Experiences with prior storms have shown that limbs are more sustainable intact on the trees versus as loose debris on the street. Loose vegetative debris must not be placed in drainage swales or canals as this can disrupt flow before, during and after the storm.
