Following the storm on June 10th, our environmental services team initiated a prompt response to mitigate damage in Frisco. They checked median trash receptacles and began right-of-way clearance while adhering to disaster management protocols, which delayed residential cleanup for 48 hours. Tree debris guidelines were issued, and collection services commenced one week later, utilizing city resources. The program benefited the community by converting 3,000 yards of wood into 223 tons of mulch, emphasizing recycling's cost-effectiveness and environmental importance. Join us in fostering a greener future together!
