DON'T take materials to the curb or Trash Transfer Stations during a watch or warning. Facilities will be closed temporarily to prepare for the storm. DO watch for news items and flyers for service information as the Customer Service phone lines may be down. Broward County will be releasing information to the press as soon as it is available. DO understand that all services will resume as soon as possible after an emergency, although it may be several weeks before yard waste is removed.
Garbage collection is the number one priority.
DO put all household garbage in securely tied plastic bags. DO cut all tree limbs into sections of four feet or less. DO place smaller or loose items in garbage cans or plastic bags. DO place all debris curbside. DON'T risk injury or accident by placing debris near a fence, mailbox or on top of power line equipment.
