Public Works Commissioner Nominee Nelson Petty, Jr. explained, “Debris is separated into three categories: vegetative, C&D (furniture, construction, etc.) and white goods. Please separate your debris before placing it on the curbside, and refrain from leaving household waste mixed in with your debris, as it slows the debris collection process.”
The Department of Public Works appreciates the community’s patience as they work to remove all debris from the territory.
