Downed trees after the storm
Beware: You’ll get a ticket for leaving furniture, appliances, mattresses and other such items on the curb for bulk trash pick up before August. City of Dallas officials are asking residents to limit brush and bulk set-outs to storm debris only in June and July while sanitation crews focus on cleaning up after the major storms of June 9 and 16.
The city asks residents to place tree branches and shrubbery separate from bagged debris and damaged fence panels because all-natural waste may be taken to alternate processing facilities. Mingling the two may slow the collection process. Sanitation Services plans to return to their normal schedule in August.
Residents are encouraged to report downed trees, traffic lights and other debris issues to 311.
