Debris cleanup in Dallas continues for weeks after storms. See the collection map

After several weeks of severe storms in North Texas, recovery could take weeks.

In a statement from the city of Dallas, officials said it could take 60 days to collect debris from the storm.

Here’s what we know about the city’s sanitation plan.

When will Dallas residents collect storm debris?

According to Dallas City Hall, the Department of Sanitation, with the help of contractor crews, will remove debris at the curb daily from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Sunday. There is heavy debris throughout the city and it is estimated that cleanup could take at least 60 days.

What are the guidelines for placing debris?

The city wants residents of Dallas and surrounding areas to complete four steps.

Sanitary facilities will collect up to 20 cubic meters of debris at no additional charge. Garbage exceeding this limit is subject to an additional disposal fee of $60 per 5 cubic yards, assessed in 5 cubic yard increments.
All vehicles should be kept at least 20 feet away from storm debris piles between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. to allow for the passage of equipment to remove material.
Avoid placing debris where it blocks sidewalks, driveways or pedestrian paths. Place debris just beyond the curb, out of traffic lanes, away from drainage ditches and away from obstructions such as mailboxes, fences, sprinkler heads, fire hydrants and water/gas meters.
Cut large branches and limbs to an appropriate length, no longer than 10 feet and no wider than 12 inches. Crews may be unable to collect large debris. An orange tag will be placed on materials that cannot be collected.

Is there a limit to the amount of garbage that can be thrown away?

Dallas Sanitation temporarily increased its post-storm trash collection limit from 10 cubic yards to 20 cubic yards. The adaptation is intended to help residents deal with the unexpected amount of garbage. However, storm debris dumped by a sanitation customer in excess of the 20 cubic yard limit on the first pass through the city for storm debris collection is subject to a disposal fee of $60 for every five cubic yards above the limit.
