Tampa solid waste crews started picking up light debris Thursday, including garbage bags with tree trimmings and small branches. Residents can bag and stack these items where they normally set out the trash.
Heavy debris, including tree trunks, large limbs and building material will be collected starting next week by a debris clearing company contracting with the city, officials said.
These items should also be placed where residents usually set out their trash. If practical, heavy debris should be cut into 5-foot sections. Building materials should be separated from trees and shrubbery.
For information, call (813) 348-1111.
