⛈️ Hey, storm preppers! Stocked up on milk and bread? Good, now let’s talk trash cans...
When strong winds and heavy rain roll through, everyday items left outside can quickly become storm debris, ending up in our streets, storm drains and waterways.
Be the calm before the storm! Take a few minutes to:
- Check your cans. Secure the lids and move bins to a sheltered spot so trash and recyclables don’t scatter.
- Secure loose items. Bring in or tie down patio furniture, decorations, and anything else that could blow away.
- Tidy up your yard. Pick up loose debris before the storm does it for you, and clear leaves and debris from gutters and storm drains so water can drain properly.
- Check on your neighbors and see if they need an extra hand to do the same.
After the storm, you may see more litter around than usual. Pickup schedules can shift while local crews put safety and recovery first, so please be patient with them. Once it’s safe, we can all pitch in to clean up.
Y'all stay safe and dry this weekend! 💚
