The City of Duncanville is working closely with Republic Services to manage the significant increase in brush and bulk waste following last weekend’s storms. We are currently experiencing higher volumes of storm debris, particularly in areas north of I-20, along with ongoing cleanup in city parks and efforts by our street crews to keep roadways safe and clear.
To help address the increased demand and expedite collection, the City has engaged Camacho Tree and Landscaping Services to assist Republic. Camacho began operations this morning in Section 1 (Redbird Lane area) and will continue working through impacted areas. Some neighborhoods experienced heavier storm damage than others, which may result in longer collection times, and we ask residents for their continued patience.
In the past, the Service Center has been used as a staging area for debris; however, the site is currently at capacity. Consistent with our Emergency Management Plan, the City is utilizing Red Bird Park as a temporary staging site due to its proximity to the most impacted areas and access to I-20. The east side of the parking lot will be used for this purpose and will be barricaded, while the west side will remain open to the public. Republic will provide containers on-site, and this location will be used exclusively by Republic and Camacho Tree and Landscaping. It will not be open to the public.
Camacho will continue supporting Republic Services until all sections of the city have been serviced.
We will continue to share updates with the public as progress is made. We appreciate the community’s patience and understanding as crews work diligently to clear storm debris as quickly and safely as possible.
