City of Corpus Christi to begin brush, debris pick up on Monday, August 3

Make sure the debris piles do not block sidewalks, streets or drainage ditches.

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — The City of Corpus Christi will begin picking up Hurricane Hanna debris this coming Monday. There will be no citations for placing that debris at your curb now.

The City said there will be no citations or fines assessed during what they call this hurricane response period.

Residents should separate their brush and other debris into two separate piles. 

  • Clean brush consisting of trees, limbs, palm fronds, and other brush.
  • Wooden planks, fencing, roof shingles, or other such debris caused by the hurricane. 

Make sure the debris piles do not block sidewalks, streets, or drainage ditches.

Residents are urged to ‘like’ and ‘follow’ the Solid Waste Department Facebook page for the latest information regarding brush cleanup and all your other solid waste questions.

The following is a list of brush collection updates:

  • City crews will begin collections in Calallen and work their way south towards North Padre Island.  
  • Debris removal contractors will begin assisting city crews beginning Wednesday, August 5th.
  • The citywide brush and debris collection sweep is expected to be completed by August 17, 2020. This is a one-time sweep.
  • Residents missing this collection will have to wait for their next regularly scheduled Brush & Bulky Item collection.

Guidelines for brush and debris include:

  • Brush must be separated from other debris. The trees, limbs, palm fronds, and vegetation may be turned into mulch.
  • Storm debris including roof shingles and fencing must be kept separate from the brush.
  • Brush and debris must be set curbside for pick up.
  • Items must not block sidewalks, thru-ways, or stormwater ditches.

A map of collection areas (10 to 1A) will be available online at www.cctexas.com/hannadebris
