Small actions can make a big difference in preventing stormwater pollution and reducing debris in our community.

Let’s keep Laredo clean, safe, and storm-ready! 💙

☔ Flooding is projected across South Texas this week 🌊 Be the calm before the storm by preventing stormwater pollution at home 🏡

⚠️ 📢 Due to the anticipated severe weather, heavy rainfall, and potential flooding in our area, residents should expect possible delays or disruptions to solid waste collection services and landfill operations.

Residents are also asked to refrain from placing brush or bulky items at the curb until the rain event has passed. This will help prevent materials from blocking drainage systems and reduce potential hazards during the storm.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding as we work together to help keep our streets, drainage systems, and community safe.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
⚠️ 📢 Debido a las condiciones meteorológicas severas previstas, las fuertes lluvias y las posibles inundaciones en nuestra zona, los residentes deben estar preparados para posibles retrasos o interrupciones en los servicios de recolección de residuos sólidos y en las operaciones del vertedero.

También se solicita a los residentes que se abstengan de colocar ramas, restos de poda u objetos voluminosos en la acera hasta que haya pasado el evento de lluvias. Esto ayudará a evitar que los materiales obstruyan los sistemas de drenaje y reducirá los posibles riesgos durante la tormenta.

Gracias por su cooperación y comprensión mientras trabajamos juntos para ayudar a mantener seguras nuestras calles, sistemas de drenaje y comunidad.
