Residents of Metro Places Communities: If you are wondering what to do with your debris, we ask that you please place what you would like thrown away in a pile, and place the debris curbside as soon as you possibly can so that it may be picked up by your community’s waste team.

Please note: you should not put any waste in shared community spaces, clubhouse, builder dumpsters, etc. Thanks for your cooperation!

We would also like to extend a special THANK YOU to the contractors and team members who came out to help fill sandbags at our Southshore Bay community before the storm.
