MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Milwaukee officials are urging residents to take storm-damaged items to the city’s drop-off centers following severe flooding. Bulky items will also be collected from the curb, but delays are expected due to a backlog.

Residents can schedule pickups by calling (414) 286-CITY or by using the MKEMobile Action app.

Drop-off are being accepted at the centers from 7 a.m. until 3 p.m., up until Sunday, Aug. 17. Drop-off fees are being waived until Sunday for those impacted by the storm damage.

Mayor Cavalier Johnson said in a Monday, Aug. 11 press conference alongside the Milwaukee Department of Public Works, "We’re working through the process to bring aid to people affected by the downpour and flooding that’s ensued."

The recovery process is expected to take weeks or months, and the cost and scope of the damage will determine potential state and federal funding.

Overnight parking rules are suspended through Wednesday, Aug. 13 and will resume Thursday night.

Officials advise those who abandoned vehicles during flooding to check the area where they left them. Flooded vehicles are being moved out of the way, not to the tow lot, and must be relocated within three days.
