June 1st through November 30th is official “Hurricane Season”.
We hope to be spared a direct hit, but in the event we sustain
damage from a hurricane or tropical storm force winds, please
adhere to the following guidelines set forth by the City of
Palmetto Code of Ordinances for proper disposal of storm debris:
Yard trash cans and their contents shall not weigh more than
fifty (50) pounds. Yard trash deposits shall be in containers or
tied in bundles as set forth below:
* Tree, tree trimmings, hedge clippings and similar material
shall be cut into lengths not to exceed four (4) feet in length
and securely tied in bundles not more than two (2) feet across
and not weighing more than fifty (50) pounds before being
deposited for collection. No individual tree trimmings shall
exceed six (6) inches in diameter. Tree trimmings and hedge
clippings, not exceeding four (4) feet in length along with grass
clippings, leaves, and vines may be placed in a yard trash can or
