Storm Debris

Residents have a number of options to get rid of debris. Dumping debris on neutral grounds or in vacant or blighted lots is illegal and will be enforced. 

Call It

Residents can call 311 24/7 to report debris problems, including illegal dumping, and debris pickup requests. City contractors will pick up certain kinds of debris curbside.
