Beryl trash clean up is causing a backlog at the landfills.

Frontier Waste Solutions

“Due to the damage left by Hurricane Beryl, the entire Houston solid waste market is experiencing higher volumes of trash out for collection. From refrigerator and freezer spoilage, to leaves and branches, the volume is immense for the time being. This increased volume is causing longer wait times at each and every landfill/ disposal site and delays the turnaround time dramatically. We appreciate your patience as we work diligently to get everyone recovered as quickly as possible. Our team is doing everything we can to manage the solution and ensure that all services are completed safely and efficiently. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation during this time. Thank you for your patience and support.”

Crews are tackling the storm debris keep hydrants clear for safety.

We know you want the storm debris gone. 😖We do too, and our teams are working on it. 🌳
🚨Please remember that placing vegetative storm debris or any kind of trash on or around fire hydrants is a safety hazard.
🚒Our firetrucks cannot see the hydrants if they are covered. In addition, the hydrants could be damaged by the huge sanitation picker trucks if the claw hits them during debris pick up.
Thank you for your cooperation and amazing patience during this recovery.
