We are aware of solicitors in the area pitching insurance or cleanup services. They are not affiliated with the City of Clayton. 

Clayton residents should remain vigilant about potential storm cleanup scams. Legitimate contractors will have proper identification and insurance and never demand full payment up front. If approached by unfamiliar contractors offering services, always reference their company through the Better Business Bureau and Federal Trade Commission (links below). 

Report suspicious activity immediately to local authorities. Protecting your personal information and finances is especially important during recovery periods.

Before taking any independent cleanup action, residents should contact their insurance carriers or licensed, reputable contractors for tree removal and additional services as needed.
