Have you been affected by the floods? Here's what Harris Co. wants you to do with debris

They will come pick up the debris, but they ask that you separate it into different categories.

HOUSTON — If your home has been affected by severe flooding, the Harris County Office of Emergency Management has a number you can call to get debris picked up.

The number is 713-274-3880. You can also email homeflooding@harriscountytx.gov

If you are getting debris picked up at your home, the county asks that you separate it into six different categories – normal household trash, vegetative debris, construction and demolition debris, appliance and white goods, electronics and household chemical waste.
