m a j or veget a t i on
trimming.
To ensure your yard is
as prepared as possible:
• Cut back all trees and weak branches that could
come in contact with buildings.
• Have foliage thinned so wind can flow freely
through branches, decreasing the chance that trees or
plants will be uprooted.
• Containerize small pieces of vegetation, such as
pine needles, leaves, twigs, etc., in bags or cans that
weigh less than 50 pounds when full and place at the
curb on your scheduled day.
• Clean your yard of any items that could pose a
danger to you or your neighbors in hurricane-force
winds, such as old lumber, broken lawn furniture, etc.,
and place them curbside on your bulk waste collection
day.
• Place vegetative material from routine maintenance
at the curb on your regularly scheduled collection day.
Unincorporated Palm Beach County residents may place
up to 6 cubic yards – equivalent to three standard-size
refrigerators – at the curb.
• Follow the 6/50 rule: Each piece of vegetation
cannot exceed 6 feet in length or 50 pounds in weight.
If contracting lawn care services for major vegetation
trimming, make sure contractors include the price of
debris removal as part of their service. Debris from
major cutting or tree removal will need to be transported
to an SWA facility, and there will be a fee for this
disposal.
In 2017, Hurricane Irma left almost 3 million cubic
yards of vegetative debris on the ground. It took three
months and cost more than $30 million to collect and
dispose of it all.
There is much more information at SWA.org/
