Summary

Irving has no separate storm or tornado debris program. Downed limbs and damaged household goods go out on the city's normal brush and bulky-waste routes, and Code § 33-18.22(h) requires franchise haulers to supply extra equipment at regular rates when disaster strikes.

(c) Collection shall not be made within three hundred (300) feet of a residence earlier than 6:00 a.m., or later than 8:00 p.m., Mondays through Saturdays, and not at all on Sundays... (h) In the event of disaster, franchise holders will be expected to assist in cleanup by making additional collection equipment available to the city as required at regular rates.

Full Breakdown

Irving is inland with no windstorm-zone debris ordinance, so storm and tornado debris follow the ordinary solid-waste rules in Chapter 33. Under § 33-18.22, crews collect only between 6:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday and never on Sunday, within 300 feet of a residence. Subsection (h) requires franchise holders to assist the city's cleanup by making additional collection equipment available at regular rates during a disaster. Residents set out brush and bulky items on normal routes; construction and demolition debris is excluded and must go in a roll-off container. The Solid Waste Services director enforces the chapter.

Violations & Fines

Removing or scavenging solid waste from a container is an offense under § 33-18.22(a). Collecting before 6:00 a.m., after 8:00 p.m., or on Sundays within 300 feet of a residence violates the chapter.
