Storm Debris Collection Update: August 9
We know it’s taking some time, but this process is likely going to take months to resolve due to the amount of debris left after Hurricane Beryl. All of City of Baytown’s assets, in addition to a contractor, are being used. In fact, the contractor estimates the amount of debris is more of what you would see from a Category 3 hurricane.
Please be patient as we work through our community. Remember, crews will be making multiple passes through each zone.
Here’s the latest storm debris collection information as of August 9:
