Keep a Year-Round Tree Trimming Plan

  1. When is hurricane season?
  2. I know the SWA wants all residents to do regular yard maintenance year round but what is the best time for me to do major cutting and/or tree removal?
  3. When preparing for hurricane season, is there a limit to the amount of vegetation I can place at the curb for collection?
  4. Why shouldn't I do major cutting in May when hurricane season doesn't officially begin until June 1?
  5. Does SWA collect my storm debris or is it FEMA that provides the service?
  6. I live in a gated community or on a private road. Will SWA collect my storm debris?
