MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- People who still have flood related damage in their homes or yards have until Sunday to request help from the City of Milwaukee.

At the South Center drop off site, dumpsters show the damage that Milwaukeeans faced during historic flooding earlier this month. 

“I throw out all from my basement. Wet stuff yesterday,” said Victor See, a Milwaukee resident. 

It's just one of the flood relief options available to Milwaukeeans as the city continues to clean up. 

“That’s a number worth repeating. We have been out and collecting bulky material in Milwaukee and we have visited over 15,000 homes in the city helping people to recover from the devastating flooding,” said Mayor Cavalier Johnson.

Milwaukee's Department of Public Works staff says residents have until Sunday to either drop off their large, flood damaged items for free or call DPW for curbside pickup. Drop off centers will resume their regular hours from Tuesday to Sunday from 7 a.m. until 3 p.m.

“We may not pick it up by Sunday, but if you call it in, it’ll be in the system for free,” said Jerrel Kruschke, Commissioner of Public Works. 

It's a process that came with a hefty price tag. 

“It’s between $25,000 and $60,000 per day. So, if you add that up over the past three weeks, it’s a significant amount of money,” said Kruschke. 

Earlier this week, Governor Tony Evers requested a presidential disaster declaration from President Trump. It would provide FEMA dollars to six counties.

“These are Milwaukeeans certainly, they’re Wisconsinites absolutely, they're American Citizens that were devastated by a natural disaster and I hope the White House sees it that way,” said Johnson. 

On Thursday, during his visit to La Crosse, Vice President JD Vance said he would make sure the White House responds to that request promptly.

“Now the President of the United States has to be the one to make that call,” said Johnson. 

In the meantime, residents say they’re grateful they can toss their damaged items, free of cost. 

“Wonderful. Great program,” said See.
