Unincorporated Galveston County FEMA Roadside Storm Debris Pick-Up

Galveston County Road and Bridge’s Department staff focus on cleanup efforts and the restoration of County Services. The Department is developing a comprehensive plan to remove vegetative storm debris from residential properties.

Please be patient, as the County’s Crews start roadside pick-up service. IT MOST LIKELY WILL TAKE WEEKS TO REMOVE ALL DEBRIS FROM RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES. COUNTY CREWS WILL ONLY MAKE TWO PASSES ON EACH ROAD TO REMOVE DEBRIS FROM BERYL.

Below are FEMA requirements all property owners must follow:

• Separate your trash bins/bags away from any vegetative or storm debris. Garbage cans, bags will be serviced by regular scheduled garbage service. BAGGED leaves and branches are ineligible to be picked up

• Separate yard and vegetative waste from storm debris (such as fencing) and place in separate piles road side of ditch (NOT in the street).

• Please bundle small branches when possible. Large tree limbs do NOT need to be bundled. Vegetative waste will not be removed from private property, it must be in the ROW. This may take more than one stack along the roadside.

• Crews cannot enter private property, this includes private drives, RV parks, and gated subdivisions

• Debris from unimproved land is ineligible.

• For Questions, Please Call Galveston County Road and Bridge at 281-534-4152
