Yardwaste collection

Dear Neighbors,

The City of Houston identified 75 addresses with limbs down that either qualified as regular yard waste collection or needed to be bundled so the yard waste crews could collect them;  15 homes had tree debris that were not at the curb and four had limbs that needed to be cut to meet their collection guidelines.

There were only ten addresses that had cut trees that would require a heavy trash collection crew to remove. They also noticed that several of the piles seemed to have been out for longer than a week.

Our regular junk waste collection day for this month was August 3 – the first Monday – last week.  Unfortunately they are unable to send an entire crew off schedule during a junk waste collection month. They have suggested for me to encourage our neighbors to cut and  tie your tree limbs in bundles of 5 feet and less that 50 pounds to be left for yard waste collection or to take your limbs to their depository at 2240 Central.

They will alert their service center about the large piles but could not promise they will get collected before our next service day in September.

*****Residents will not receive tickets from the Department of Neighborhoods until after September 1. *****

Warmly,

Yvette Hernandez
