Debris Pickup Could Start Monday

November 14, 2017

FORT BEND COUNTY, TX –   Fort Bend County is beginning its recovery program in the wake of Hurricane Ike.  This program will cover all unicorporated areas in the County, and through a partnership with the following cities: Rosenberg, Meadows Place, Thompsons, Orchard, Stafford, Pleak, Arcola, Kendleton, Simonton and Missouri City.  The City of Sugar Land will be initiating its own program.

Fort Bend County residents are asked to place any storm-generated debris on the public right-of-way.

  • The public right-of-way is the area of residential property that extends from the street to the sidewalk, ditch, utility pole or easement.
  • Only debris placed on the public right-of-way will be eligible for collection until further notice. This must be located on either the front slope of the ditch or at the curb.
  • Do not let the debris block drainage in culverts or curb drains, this could cause street flooding.
  • Vegetation debris such as woody burnable debris such as limbs and shrubbery should be placed curb and there is no need for bundling or strapping. Fencing can also be picked up, but placed in a separate stack.
  • Bagged debris should not be placed on the public right-of-way, only loose debris will be collected.
  • Household garbage should be kept separate from the debris and will be picked up by the normal service provider.
  • Do not place debris near any water meter vault, fire hydrant or any other above-ground utility.

To dispose of the following items please call the Debris Management hotline 281-238-3430 for further instructions. These items will be picked up separately:

  • Construction and demolition debris
  • Hazardous household products and tires
  • Household whitegoods (appliances that are properly prepared for pickup)

If all debris is not picked up during the initial pass, please continue to place remaining debris to the right-of-way for collection on subsequent passes.  It will take approximately 3 weeks for the contractor to make the first round of pickups and there will be total of 3 designated pickups.

Please check the county website www.fortbendcountygov.com for additional information and updates on the debris removal process.
