MCOHSEM: ‘Debris pickup is underway throughout Montgomery County’
Montgomery County Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management shared the following update on Debris pickup on Tuesday, July 16 at 4:17 p.m.
Debris pickup is underway throughout Montgomery County. Please be patient with us as the shear volume of cleanup has exceeded over one million cubic yards of vegetative debris.
Pickup includes all residents of Montgomery County except residents within the City limits of Conroe.
To ensure your vegetation debris is collected, property owners are encouraged to complete the debris removal survey by visiting: https://survey123.arcgis.com/…/d29e232a390c4c499fa77a13…
Debris should be placed in the county right-of-way nearest to the curb/street. Debris will not be picked up if its contained within any plastic bags. The only debris being picked up is vegetation such as trees, branches, logs, plants etc.

The Woodlands Township also shared the following update and that “Montgomery County Precinct 3 will begin Storm Debris removal today, July 16, 2024.”
1. Separate yard/vegetative (tree limbs/branches, pine needles, etc.) from construction debris (fencing, drywall, etc.). Construction or any debris that is not yard/vegetative will not be removed by the county. The homeowner/property owner is responsible for removing this type of debris.
2. Place your debris within five feet of the curb, which is within the county’s right-of-way.
- DO NOT place debris in the road or ditches. This can impede traffic and impact drainage.
- Debris located on private property will not be removed. Please place storm debris as close to the curb as you can.
- Bagged material (even in clear bags) will NOT be picked up
3. Fill out the form: https://bit.ly/3S6CBxJ. Residents MUST complete the form.

Please be aware that while crews may begin debris pickup today, it will take some time before all the debris is collected. Additional passes are likely.
