Explanation of Request: 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.
As a reminder, 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 at the curb the day before their scheduled pick-up day.
- Vegetation needs to be cut in 4 foot lengths and 4 inches in diameter.
- The vegetation must be placed at the roadside leaving 3 feet 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 feet in diameter require a special pick up.
If you have any questions you can contact the Solid Waste Division of Public Works at (561) 742-6200, Monday – Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
