Pre-Hurricane Junk Removal: What to Clear Before the Storm

Why Pre-Storm Cleanup Matters

Loose items in your yard become dangerous projectiles during a hurricane. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) recommends removing all potential debris before storm season begins.

Items to Remove Before Hurricane Season

• Yard debris: Dead branches, fallen limbs, and dead trees
• Outdoor furniture: Unsecured patio sets, umbrellas, and decorations
• Construction materials: Leftover lumber, bricks, and renovation waste
• Old fencing: Damaged or loose fence panels and posts
• Junk vehicles: Non-running cars, boats, or trailers in the yard
• Shed contents: Old tools, chemicals, and stored junk

Pre-Storm Checklist

1. Walk your entire property and identify loose items
2. Remove dead trees and overhanging branches (hire a tree service for large jobs)
3. Clear gutters and downspouts of debris
4. Secure or remove outdoor furniture, grills, and decorations
5. Call Junk Removal Rangers for bulk debris pickup
