Proper Disposal After Use

Wondering what to do with your sandbags now that the storm has passed? If you don’t have room to store them for the next rain event or wish to dispose of them, here are some suggestions:

Mix sand in with your soil to improve landscape drainage.
Dispose of sand over time in your brown trash cart. To ensure the cart is not too heavy, please only dispose of two bags of sand per week.
Provide to family, friends, or neighbors in need.

Please do not dump sand at the beach or return your sandbags to the Corporate Yard or other City facilities.
