Debris Removal
An additional debris staging area was secured outside the city limits, and approved by the TCEQ, earlier today, Wednesday September 20. Suitable sites are in high demand and short supply. The contractor had been securing additional and larger equipment in anticipation of being able to use the additional site, and that equipment is in town as of this afternoon.
The debris staging area on city owned property between Anderson and First street on the north side of Bellaire is overwhelmed, and as result, the pace of debris removal has been hindered. The staging area is a vital part of the process, as debris must be compacted before it can be sent to a landfill. The city’s contractor has been compacting debris and loading trucks for the landfill, but site constraints prevent the contractor from keeping up with the loads being brought in.
We should soon be able to publish information about when specific areas will have debris removed. Your patience is appreciated, please look for future updates.
