MARBLE FALLS, Texas — As homeowners start to return to their homes, cleanup after the flood is on the top of everyone’s to-do list.

The City of Marble Falls issued a set of guidelines in order to maximize potential reimbursement to the community from the state and federal government.

  • Please separate debris into different piles as much as possible.
  • Branches, leaves, and other vegetative materials that can go into a wood chipper
  • Metal and related materials suitable for recycling
  • Glass should be gather glass carefully; before you set it out, double-bag it to avoid accidents
  • Lumber, insulation, bricks, siding, and other debris from buildings
  • Furniture and other large items
  • Appliances should be emptied of all contents and use duct tape to hold refrigerators and freezers closed
  • Ruined clothing and furnishings

Do not  include any containers of chemicals that might be classified as household hazardous waste, such as pesticides, and gasoline. The city is working on a solution for the collection of household hazardous waste.

Residents should set the piles as close to the public road as possible. If you have a curb near your home, put them on top of the curb, not in the road. If you have a ditch and no curb near your home, put them in the grassy area between the ditch and the road. Be sure not to block the ditch or the road or fire hydrants.
