Storm Debris Cleanup Information

Due to the effects of Hurricane Beryl, Harris County MUD 217 is coordinating the collection and removal of disaster debris within the District. Harris County MUD 217 will begin debris collection and removal beginning as early as Tuesday, July 30th.

Only tree and fence debris will be removed at this time.

Please note that this operation is ONLY for disaster debris.

Please do not attempt to place garbage or other household refuse with the disaster debris, as it will not be accepted, and will delay your storm debris collections. Regular trash removal services in the community will continue as scheduled.

Please place the debris piles at the curb in the public right-of-way (not in ditches) in front of your home or business as soon as possible. Please do not block any public utility such as fire hydrants, water valves, road signs, etc.  If properly separated, it will be picked up by crews.

Severe Weather Warning – Tropical Storm Beryl

Beryl Expected to Make Landfall Within 24 Hours

The Harris County Office of Homeland Security & Emergency Management (HCOHSEM) continues monitoring Beryl. The National Hurricane Center anticipates Beryl will make landfall as a hurricane near Matagorda Bay early Monday morning.

The National Weather Service currently has Harris County under a Tropical Storm Warning which would bring sustained winds of 39 to 73 mph in the next 36 hours. There is also a Flood Watch in effect for Harris County through Tuesday morning. The National Weather Service forecast rainfall amounts of 5 to 10 inches with localized higher amounts expected beginning late today, July 7th.

Avoid traveling during severe weather!

  • Rain can reduce visibility. If you go out, use caution, turn on headlights, and reduce your speed to avoid hydroplaning.
  • Do not drive through flooded areas. Remember: Turn Around, Don’t Drown
  • If you see water covering the road, do not attempt to cross it. Only a few inches of water can float a vehicle.
  • Some roads may be impassible due to debris.
  • Do not drive around barricades.
  • If you find yourself in a dangerous situation where your vehicle is taking on water, get out of the vehicle, get to a higher position, and call 911.
