Frisco shares tips for storm debris cleanup

Residents cannot set extra or large debris on the curb or in the street. Leaving fallen or cut-down trees on personal property or in the street is a code violation and could result in a fine, according to a May 29 city news release.

Yard waste can also be dropped off in person at the Custer Road Transfer Station at 9901 Custer Road in Plano, according to the release.

Frisco residents are allowed two free visits per month but only if they bring:

• A Frisco water bill
• A driver’s license

The Custer Road Transfer Station also has a daily intake limit. Residents should call ahead to the station at 972-727-6341 to check before bringing anything in, according to the release.
