Hurricane and Tropical Storm season is at its peak!
Our priority during the first week after a disaster is your health and safety. We will ensure the prompt collection of putrescible residential waste. Remember that during power outages, a tremendous amount of rotting waste is generated. Collection of this is our priority. Following this initial period, we will continue to collect normal resident waste, including grass clippings.
It is encouraged to place household waste in white bags and grass clippings in clear or brown paper bags and to separate them from any debris generated because of the disaster.
Storm debris is trash from an event such as a hurricane, flood, windstorm, etc., that generates more than the average amount of waste a resident normally produces. This can include bagged yard debris, but it is not limited to downed trees, excessive branches and leaves blown off trees, fallen fences, roofing, and construction debris from the house because of water damage.
Storm debris should be placed at the curb away from your regular household waste. Please check with your local government for guidelines on how to properly place your debris out for collection.
The collection of storm debris and waste generated by these conditions is not included under the terms and conditions of Best Trash’s agreement with the District. Also, note that construction and remodeling debris is not considered normal trash. Please see our website, www.best-trash.com for details.
