Hurricane Season 2026
Hurricane Season begins June 1st and the Solid Waste Division is urging residents to do their part by conducting tree trimming early in preparation for the Hurricane Season.
Residents should not do any major tree trimming or place bulk items at the roadside after the announcement of a named storm as there is no guarantee that vegetation or bulk items will be picked up before a storm arrives.
As part of normal vegetation pick-up residents can place three (3) cubic yards of vegetation weekly to be set at the curb the day before their scheduled pick-up day.
- Vegetation needs to be cut in 4’ lengths and 4” in diameter.
- The vegetation must be placed at the roadside leaving 3’ around any obstructions, such as mailboxes, cars or recycling bins.
- Bulk trash and vegetation must be separated for pick-up.
- Any trash or debris mixed in with vegetation will have to be removed by the resident prior to pick up.
- Large tree stumps and trunks larger than 4’ in diameter require a special pick up.
