The City of Sugar Land (City) is located in eastern Fort Bend County, approximately 20 miles southwest of downtown Houston. It was founded as a sugar plantation in the mid-1800s and incorporated in 1959. The City has a population of approximately 118,498 and covers 42.85 square miles or 27,424.23 acres in city limits. The elevation of most of the city is between 70 and 90 feet (21 and 27 m) above sea level. The City is recognized for its natural beauty, featuring numerous water bodies and expansive tree canopy that enhances the landscape. The City has experienced major storms, hurricanes, and flooding events that generated significant debris and waste, prompting extensive pre-planning for recovery efforts. Hurricane Ike (Category 2), made landfall in Sugar Land, Texas in 2008, caused extensive damage to properties within the City and generated approximately 200,000 cubic yards of debris. Hurricane Harvey (Category 4), made landfall in Rockport, Texas in 2017, dropped torrential and unprecedented amounts of rainfall over the area and generated approximately 20,000 cubic yards of debris within the City. Winter Storm Uri occurred in February of 2021 which brought a hard freeze that lasted several days, resulting in significant debris generation. The extreme cold caused vegetation to freeze and die, while pipes burst, flooding homes and producing approximately 35,000 cubic yards of debris. This debris consisted of a mix of white goods, construction & demolition, and vegetative debris. This debris generating event was a challenge due to the delay in debris being removed from residential properties and brought to the curb to be collected. Hurricane Beryl (Category 1), made landfall in Matagorda, Texas in July of 2024, which produced high winds causing extensive damage to properties and generated approximately 187,000 cubic yards of mostly vegetative debris within the City.
