City of Pasadena Announces Windstorm Debris Pickup

PASADENA - The recent windstorm resulted in accumulation of a year's worth of green waste debris in just two days. Collection of the debris has begun by the City's Public Works Department.

Residents can assist in the clean-up effort by placing their green waste (branches, bushes, leaves, grass clippings, etc.) in their yard waste container or on the street next to the curb. Do not include any other debris besides yard waste. Your yard waste should be loose as it will be shredded after it has been collected. Do not place it in plastic bags as these will jam the shredder. Do not block your driveway or your neighbors with your debris. Leave room for your trash cans and do not extend your green waste further than the width of a parked car. Do not leave yard waste debris in alleys.

Due to the massive amount of debris build up residents should expect a delay in the clean-up process. The estimated completion time to clean-up the debris citywide is six to eight weeks.

For storm debris other than green waste materials, such as broken swing sets, fences, gates, lawn furniture, etc. contact your City of Pasadena approved franchised hauler Franchise Hauler List 21 Effective 7-1-2024.
