Brush collection in flood affected areas

Jump to:

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (August 13, 2025) – In response to recent flooding, the
City of Chattanooga's Department of Public Works, Solid Waste Division, is
prioritizing brush collection in the most impacted areas. This proactive
measure aims to mitigate further flooding risks by clearing debris that can
obstruct drainage systems. Crews will be working these affected areas
starting today, August 13th through Saturday, August 16th. Brush and bulk
trash collection will resume its normal on demand services Monday, August
18th.

Residents can continue to submit requests for brush and bulk trash
collection; however, please anticipate potential delays as our crews focus
on flood-related brush removal.
