Prepare for hurricanes by trimming trees

Hurricane season begins June 1, and now is the time to trim and prune trees and dispose of unwanted bulk items, according to the city of Winter Garden. By placing them curbside for pick-up this month, they will be disposed of before the threat of an incoming storm.

“Curbside items pose a serious threat to human life and all surrounding property during a storm, as they can become flying projectiles,” city representatives said. “Please note that the city does not have trucks and crews available to pick up curbside debris outside of your normal collection schedule or when a storm is imminent.”
