The clean up in Montgomery County is underway.
Community Impact reports that the public works department of Montgomery is offering free curbside pickup of limbs no longer than 10 feet and tree debris. They’ll be doing this Monday through Friday with no call needed.
There is no set time or date for debris pickup in Conroe. The city is requesting that local residents put their debris on their curb. Debris removal may take four to six weeks according to Conroe Mayor Coon.
There are now free fares on all inner-city fixed routes for Conroe Connection Transit. The routes are set to run Monday through Friday from 7 AM to 7 PM.
Declarations of Disaster have been signed by Montgomery County Judge Mark Keough and Conroe Mayor Coon.
Conroe Public Works Director Norman McGuire passed along at the Conroe City Council’s July 10th meeting that the primary focus at present is on infrastructure and providing residents a way to get their debris collected.s
McGuire also said that they “are going to authorize our on-call contracts, so we got a lot of troops to come and land in Conroe.” He thinks it will increase the recovery time. He said that on the ground there is approximately 60 to 80,000 cubic yards of green waste.
Meanwhile, Conroe Mayor Coon said the city staff is hard at work providing help for the community.
