Do Not Stack or Lean

Placing debris near or on trees, poles, or other structures makes removal difficult. This includes fire hydrants and meters.

Unsure Where to Place Debris?

Place debris in the public rights-of -way. If you don’t have a sidewalk, ditch, or utility line in front of your house, place debris no further than 15 feet off the back of curb or edge of pavement.

Note: Any debris placed from the sidewalk toward your property will not be picked up.

Private Roads, Business, Commercial and Light Industrial Waste

Please check with your respective management companies for disposal options.

The MUD District will be doing all we can to expedite collection.
