Houston — The City of Houston Department
of Solid Waste Management (SWM) announces the release of a Storm Debris Collection progress tracker. This tool enables residents to monitor the daily progress of debris collection efforts following the severe weather caused by Hurricane Beryl on July 8 and
the May 16 Derecho.
Houstonians can access the webpage at
bit.ly/HTXStorm to see areas in which trucks are currently working. Users should use the search function that looks like a magnifying glass to find an address. Additional details below:
-
Yellow areas indicate neighborhoods where crews are currently collecting the first pass.
-
Green areas indicate neighborhoods in which the first pass of storm debris collection is complete.
-
Gray areas indicate neighborhoods in queue for collection that will be assigned as soon as crews are available.
Upon completion of the first pass of storm debris collection, SWM will begin a second pass.

The combined impact of this year’s natural disasters in the Houston area is projected to produce more than 4.5 million cubic yards of storm debris. Prior to the
July 4th Independence Holiday, the city successfully removed more than 1.7 million cubic yards of debris generated by the Derecho Storm.
Over the next 60-90 days, the City will utilize all its available resources combined with supplemental disaster collection contractors to expedite the debris removal operations in neighborhoods throughout the city.
