As recovery efforts continue after the severe rain events of March 27th and 28th, 2025, Cameron County will begin debris pickup and removal in the unincorporated areas of Cameron County impacted by the flooding on Thursday, April 3, 2025. County residents are asked to separate storm debris into six different categories, to the extent possible:
Appliances & White Goods: Air conditioners, dishwashers, freezers, stoves, washers & dryers, water heaters, heat pumps and refrigerators
Vegetative Debris: Vegetation, logs, plants and tree branches should not be put into bags.
Construction & Demolition Debris: Building materials, carpet, drywall, furniture, plumbing, glass, floor/window coverings and pipe
Household Hazardous Waste: Cleaning supplies, batteries, lawn chemicals, oils, pesticides, oil- based paint & stains, pool chemicals, varnishes and solvents
Electronic Waste: Computers, radios, stereos, televisions and other devices
Normal Household Trash: Normal household waste, recyclables and bagged debris of any kind will NOT be collected with storm debris. Please continue to follow your normal garbage removal schedule.
Storm debris should be placed on the sidewalk or at the edge of your property before the curb. DO NOT block the roadway or storm drains. Additionally, placing debris near or on trees, poles, mailboxes, fire hydrants, utility boxes or other structures may make debris removal impossible.
“We are working as quick as possible to begin debris removal in the areas effected by the recent flood waters and ask for help separating debris into proper categories. As recovery remains ongoing, Cameron County is continuing to provide aid and assistance to residents in need,” stated County Judge Eddie Treviño, Jr.
