- Harris County advises debris should be within 10 feet of the curb for their machines to reach it, but private contractors might not have that limitation.
- Vehicles cannot be obstructing debris or access to streets.
- Mechanized equipment will pick up everything in piles, including mailboxes, fire hydrants, etc. DO NOT PUT DEBRIS AROUND PERMANENT ITEMS.
- A second round of debris pickup will occur three or more weeks later.
- SORTING: If piles are already near curb, re-sorting is NOT necessary.
