Debris Removal

Residents who live along the waterways of the San Antonio River Basin in Bexar, Wilson, Karnes and Goliad counties may be eligible for debris cleanup on their properties through the San Antonio River Authority’s Regional Flood Debris Removal program. This program is designed to improve the river’s capacity to convey floodwaters and to enhance the quality of the water. The cleanup process is environmentally friendly and benefits residents both upstream and downstream of the sites. Debris includes natural materials such as tree limbs, logs and fallen trees and man-made debris.

Landowners along the San Antonio River and its tributaries may contact the River Authority for a debris removal assessment. A River Authority team will evaluate each location based on criteria such as stream characteristics, difficulty of access and risk to property during flooding. Assessment scores are analyzed each fall. Generally, the higher the score, the sooner the site is cleaned. Work is performed between January 1 and mid-March. Not all sites may qualify for debris removal by the River Authority. This program does not include bank stabilization.

Please call (210) 227-1373 for more information.

Requests for debris removal assessments are accepted by the River Authority year-round.
For more information, contact the Watershed Parks and Operations Department.
