Sandbag Disposal
Applicants are expected to dispose of their own sandbags. Do not dump sandbags in creeks, rivers, canals, ditches, roadway gutters, storm drain inlets and anywhere but your own property. Suggested options for sandbag disposal include but not limited to: Transjordan Landfill, trash receptacle by one bag at a time, used on your property, etc. Also take care to dispose of bags before they fall apart. UV rays will degrade them quickly and the plastic bag will become trash that will blow away.
The City encourages residents to permanently reduce their flood risk with wise grading and landscaping practices. See detail with grading and landscaping tips.
