City officials have confirmed the removal of curbside damaged debris is underway in areas within the City of Orange where homes were affected by the recent flooding due to Tropical Storm Harvey and flooding from the Sabine River. Any flood related materials that citizens may want removed from the area MUST be separated into four distinct categories and placed curbside. FEMA requirements for separation of debris and damaged material are as follows:
• C&D Piles- construction and demolition materials
• Green Waste Piles- tree limbs, branches and cuttings
• White Goods- refrigerators, stoves, washers, dryers, freezers, etc.
• Hazardous Waste- paints, household chemicals, etc.
There is no specific schedule for what day debris will be picked up in a particular neighborhood. Residents are advised to get debris to the curb as soon as possible to ensure they do not miss the first pick-up by the debris removal company.
