Harvey: City Asks Residents To Remove Parked Cars From Street For Debris Pickup

HOUSTON, TX — The City of Houston Solid Waste Management Department is asking residents to remove all parked vehicles from the streets when debris crews are working in your neighborhood.

Debris should be placed close to the side of the road away from mailboxes, trees, meters, fire hydrants and other structures. Please do not place debris in the roadway.

If debris crews are unable to pass safely along the streets, they will not be able to remove your debris.
