BREVARD COUNTY, Florida -- In preparation for the first possible storm impact in Brevard County this year, Waste Management
advises that all services are operating on their normal schedules this week.
Residents who have
concerns about trees or limbs that could potentially threaten persons or
property are advised to place their trimmings at the curb on their
regular collection day only. WM requests that residents
only trim where it could pose an imminent threat in a high wind
situation.
Residents are also advised
that commercial landscape and tree trimming contractors are required,
by Brevard County and municipal ordinances, to haul away any trimmings
they generate. These requirements have been
in place for years and are observed by most contractors. It is
critically important in periods where high volumes of yard waste are
likely that residents ensure their licensed contractor abides by the
ordinance requirements.
Trimmings placed at the
curb are required to be cut to the following limits: four feet in
length, 12 inches in diameter and no more than 50 pounds per piece.
These requirements are necessary to protect WM collection
crews from injury during the collection process, so assistance is
appreciated.
Waste Management’s
Customer Service Center is available during regular business hours at
(321) 636-6894 (north Brevard), (321) 723-4455 (south Brevard), and via
live chat online at WM.com. Inquiries can also be
emailed to CentralFloridaService@wm.com.
