Burn Ban

A "Burn Ban" is in effect for the entire area! Emergency service are already stretched and they don't need to respond to a brush fire out of control.

There was a show on the Discovery Channel (? - I think) a couple of years ago on how things are recycled...weapons, office equipment, heavy equipment like road graders, etc. They had one on Katrina.

I don't remember the specifics, maybe someone recalls the name of the show and we can post a link here?

League City has set up a dedicated area where it's being brought into on my street. I assume the will use a trench burner to burn it off later. If you see the gigantic trucks doing the hauling, please let them go first at the interesections still being controlled by 4 way flashing red lights. They need to get their job done and these trucks are huge.

I saw them putting huge amounts of debris (trees and wood) in some fields near Beaumont after Rita. Then they brought in a big machine that made mulch.

the news said alot of the wood will be chipped and reused poss as gen. fuel

Landfills will recieve much of it as well as trench burning and grinding operations it could take years before it is all handled ... I run a Landfill near DFW and just want to say that i just built 6 acres of lined landfill cell and it cost me 2.1 million . So even if it is a disaster private companies still have to charge disposal .....or get bailed out by the feds!!!! sorry just had to throw that in.

He was asking a general question for information of what is normally done with all the debris. Not asking if he could burn his trash....
