FIRST OF ALL, I WANNA THANK OUR CUSTOMERS FOR THE PATIENCE.THIS HAS BEEN THE BIGGEST BRUSH, UH, CREATING EVENT THAT WE'VE EVER HAD IN GARLAND.
OUR CREWS ARE WORKING LATE NIGHTS OR WORKING ON THE WEEKENDS, TRYING TO GET CAUGHT UP.
UM, WE HAVE BROUGHT IN SOME HELP.
WE HAVE SOME CONTRACTORS THAT ARE WORKING OUR MOST AFFECTED AREAS, AND THEY WILL BE HELPING US, UH, TRY TO GET THROUGH, UH, THE AREAS JUST AS FAST AS WE CAN.
WELL, THE TORNADO IN 18 GENERATED ABOUT ABOUT 1800, UH, OR 1900 TONS OF DEBRIS.
THIS ONE SO FAR, JUST THROUGH THE FIRST WEEK, AND WE'RE ONLY HALFWAY THROUGH THE CITY, HAS GENERATED ALMOST 3000 TONS OF DEBRIS SO FAR.
SO IT'S A, A TWICE THE SIZE OF THE, UH, TORNADO EVENT.
WELL, PEOPLE CAN HELP US BY MAKING SURE THEY SEPARATE THEIR BRUSH.
IF WE CAN GET PEOPLE TO SEPARATE THEIR BRUSH, THAT BRUSH CAN GO DIRECTLY TO, UH, THE WOOD PILE AT THE LANDFILL, WHICH WILL THEN BE MULCHED.
AND IT SAVES US TIME BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE TO WAIT IN THE, IN THE LINE AT THE LANDFILL.
THEY CAN ALSO HELP US BY MAKING SURE THAT THEY KEEP EVERYTHING NO LONGER THAN SEVEN FEET IN LENGTH.
ONE OF THE WAYS PEOPLE CAN HELP US TO MOW US IS BY NOT PARKING IN FRONT OF, UH, BRUSH PILES.
UH, IF THERE'S AN OBSTRUCTION IN FRONT OF THE BRUSH PILE, WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO COME BACK AND SERVICE THAT PILE AT A LATER DAY.
UM, OUR GUYS ARE GONNA WORK AS LONG AS THEY HAVE TO, UH, TO GET ALL THE DEBRIS UP AND WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF THE CONTRACTORS, THAT'LL BE A LITTLE BIT FASTER NOW.
