Corpus Christi Solid Waste Services coordinates post-storm debris collection with designated pickup zones. Residents must separate brush, bagged debris, and appliances into distinct curbside piles for collection.
The City of Corpus Christi Solid Waste Department manages hurricane and storm debris removal through a coordinated zone-based collection system. The city is divided into approximately 26 pickup zones, each on a set schedule. After a major storm event, the city activates emergency debris removal contractors to supplement regular operations. Residents must separate materials into three distinct piles: clean brush and tree debris (which is ground into mulch), bagged general debris, and large appliances or bulky items. Piles must be placed at the curb but cannot block sidewalks, driveways, or stormwater ditches. Before hurricane season the department diverts resources to prioritize pre-storm cleanup. Construction and demolition debris from storm damage is the property owner responsibility and may require a separate hauling permit. Illegal dumping of storm debris carries fines. Contact Solid Waste Services through 311 at (361) 826-2489 for collection schedules and post-storm updates.
Contact your local code enforcement office for specific penalty information.
