HURRICANE IKE STORM DEBRIS SURVEY

Thank you for participating in this citizen survey to help the City of Houston improve its performance. Hurricane Ike generated over five million cubic yards of debris, and the Solid Waste Management Department has been working diligently to clean the city up after the storm. Your feedback in the questionnaire below will help us be more prepared in the event of another storm in the future. Much of the storm debris will end up as mulch or compost, but if you have other creative ideas of what to do with the debris, please visit www.recycleike.com. All questions or issues concerning collection of storm debris should be directed to the 3-1-1 Customer Service Helpline.
