Houston Activates Online Tool for Tracking Beryl Cleanup

Houston’s Solid Waste Management Department has announced the release of its Storm Debris Collection progress tracker, where the public can see where pickups are happening after Hurricane Beryl. The tracker will be updated nightly.

Houston has more than 4.5 million cubic yards of storm debris to clean up after Hurricane Beryl hit, and it had already picked up at least 1.7 million cubic yards from the previous derecho storm, according to the city website.

Residents can check the color-coded neighborhoods for progress.

• Yellow shows crews in the first round of collection 
• Gray indicates neighborhoods in the queue 
• Green will show completed first passes 
  

The city is using its own resources along with disaster collection contractors and expects cleanup to last at least two to three months.

Statewide, the Texas Department of Emergency Management manages a website where residents and businesses may report damage, find out which counties have been declared disaster areas and look for additional state-level information.
