Two weeks have passed since Hurricane Beryl entered Sugar Land. Being 10 days in on storm debris collection, we know you have questions and we have some answers.
The Houston region took quite a hit and as a result, our contractors are experiencing longer wait times at the landfill. These wait times varied between 2 – 3 hours at peak. Some of our regular service collections, such as bulk waste and green waste are delayed and will continued to be delayed in the coming weeks as our region continues to recover.
Speaking of contractors, we have 2 contractors that were activated in our debris removal process. The cut truck contractor has been in all zones working on cutting limbs deemed hazardous out of trees in the right of way. This contractor will leave the cut limbs to be collected by our vegetative debris contractor in the near future. Please refrain from interrupting their work. This only slows the process down. If you have questions about the contractors or the collection process, please call 311 or 281-275-2900 and a staff member will help to answer.
As of July 21, our debris removal trucks have collected approximately 62,000 cu yds of vegetative debris, with many more to go. This volume has surpassed winter storm Uri, which was estimated to be 32,000 – 37,000 cu yds. We have 31 trucks operating in all zones in the city to help expedite the debris collection process.
White goods (refrigerators & freezers) collection will be completed tomorrow, July 23. Thank you for your patience while we work to get everyone collected.
We are proud of our community working together to check on neighbors, lending a helping hand where needed and combining your vegetative debris piles. This has helped to move the debris collection process along in our city.
As a reminder, leaves and grass must be bagged in clear/translucent bags or a reusable container for Republic Services to collect on your normal green waste collection day. Any items bagged in black bags will be collected on your regular bulk waste collection days and should not be placed at the curb until the night before your regular bulk waste collection week.
Let’s continue the great work of recovering Sugar Land, together.
