The City's Public Works crews will continue to pick up storm-related yard debris as quickly and efficiently as possible until they have reached every neighborhood. Be advised that this could take another week or more. Please help them by adhering to the usual rules regarding yard waste. They can be viewed here: templeterrace.com/597/Municipal-Solid-Waste-Program, but in a nutshell, are as follows:
"Disposal regulations prohibit the city from collecting yard debris with normal garbage. Yard waste means any yard clippings, leaves, tree limbs (must be shorter than 3 feet in length and less than 5 inches in diameter and bundled), tree trunks, palm fronds, mulch, grass, and shrubbery/brush, materials.
Grass clippings and leaves must be containerized, preferably in reusable 30 gallon trash bins, with a weight limit of 50 lbs. per container. Do not include fruit with the yard debris. If you have trash cans that are no longer in use, consider placing your unbagged lawn debris in those cans and put them curbside for collection. DO NOT use recycling bins for yard waste."
Do not place your loose items in the street. Help us help the community. Please.
