Cleaning and Organizing Debris

You may do the following with the debris on your property.

Where to Place Debris

• Only in the public right-of-way – the area between sidewalks and streets.
• Do NOT place debris in streets or alleys, or put out regular household trash in this area.
• Do NOT use black trash bags – debris must be visible for verification.

Sort Your Debris into These Piles

• Vegetation/Green Waste – tree limbs, brush, leaves
• Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) – paint, propane tanks, chemicals, batteries
• White Goods – appliances, electronics
• Mixed Construction & Demolition (C&D) – wood, roofing, bricks, etc.

Regular Trash and Brick

• Regular trash (non-disaster waste) should go in City alley dumpsters or roll carts.
• If you're keeping bricks, do not place them in the right-of-way unless they are clearly organized (e.g., on pallets), showing they are being salvaged.
  • Unorganized brick piles in the right-of-way will be removed as debris.

Request Debris Removal

After your debris is cleaned and organized your can submit a request for Debris Removal.
