Street and Health Department
The Street and Health Departments, in conjunction with the other City Departments, work together to keep the City of Hereford clean and safe. The Street Department's primary function is to provide a means for transportation between the home, the work place, recreational facilities, and commercial establishments; provide a system for storm water drainage and removal; insure that municipal roadways are sanitary and without excess debris. It also establishes and maintains sufficient traffic control devices to inform the general public on the conditions of and the requirements for the use and control of vehicular movement throughout the City. The City of Hereford currently contracts with BFI for solid waste service within the city. BFI is responsible for all areas of solid waste including collection, transportation and disposal. The cost of these contracted services are paid out of the Health Department. The city operates the type IV landfill. Citizens are compelled by City Ordinance to keep weeds and grass mowed on their properties (responsibility includes areas from the curbside to the middle of the alley.) In an effort to keep alleys clean and clear of debris, residents are asked to place all grass clippings, yard waste, as well as brush four feet and shorter INSIDE the dumpster. Brush larger than four feet in length and bulky trash is to be taken to the landfill.
