Limit Yard Work Due to Potential for a Hurricane/Tropical Storm

With Palm Beach County in the cone of uncertainty for Tropical Storm Dorian, this week is NOT the time to do major yard work or begin construction projects.

·         Refrain from cutting down whole trees or doing major yard or construction projects until after the storm passes

·         Do not place any debris at the curb after a Hurricane Watch or Hurricane Warning is issued

Excess yard waste placed curbside may put a strain on collection and disposal efforts, and large piles of new vegetation trimming and construction debris may be left at the curb should the storm impact our area. Mass cutting places a tremendous burden on the collection and disposal processes and there is not enough equipment or manpower to handle the additional material before a storm makes landfall.

The SWA is working with the PBC Emergency Operations Center to monitor the storm’s potential path to make a determination on any facility closures.  We need the help of every resident for the efficient removal of debris leading up to and after the storm.
