Storm Preparation and Safety
Find out where to take tree limbs, how to secure large waste items, and ensure your property is safe during a hurricane or storm.
- Stop all yard maintenance and tree trimming activities and DO NOT place vegetative waste curbside within three (3) days of a hurricane warning or severe weather warning.
- Secure garbage and recycling containers. Place empty containers in a secure location away from open spaces.
- Secure, bundle and tie down all loose trash such as tree limbs, wood planks or building and roof tiles on your property. Place these materials in a location where debris cannot become hazardous to homes, cars and property, in high winds.
