The following is a compilation of news releases from the Flagler County, Palm Coast, Flagler Beach and Bunnell governments and from the Florida Forest Service:
The Beach is closed to all persons for their safety due to the debris in the surf, and the possibility of hidden debris in the sand. Nails, boards, rocks and glass are some of the hazards. Police and Ocean Rescue are patrolling the Beach on ATV's, and anyone on the beach will be asked to leave.
City of Palm Coast telephones went down the morning of Monday, Oct. 10, due to a problem with the city’s phone carrier.
For assistance with city services, such as utility service, pep tank alarms, and questions about debris pickup, call the Emergency Operations Center call-in center at 386-586-5111, or email customer service at [email protected].
City of Palm Coast Customer Service representatives from the city of Palm Coast are set up at the EOC to answer these calls.
Once phone service is restored to city facilities, the customer service number will be back in service. The city will make an announcement at that time.
The city of Bunnell is beginning its recovery process in the wake of Hurricane Mathew. City residents are asked to place any storm-generated debris on the public right-of-way. Debris removal operations will begin on Wednesday afternoon, October 12, 2016, and will continue all day Thursday, October 13th.
The public right-of-way is the area of residential property that extends from the street to the sidewalk, ditch, utility pole, or easement.
Keep vegetative debris (woody, burnable debris such as limbs and shrubbery) separated from construction and demolition debris, as they will be collected separately.
Only debris that was generated from the storm will be collected. Bagged debris should not be placed with loose debris. Place bags in a separate pile, not on top of loose debris.
If you have any hazardous waste to dispose of, Flagler County’s household hazardous waste collection center and recycle drop-off center is operated at the closed C & D Facility, located at 1700 South Old Kings Road. Operating hours are Monday through Friday, 7:00 am to 3:30 pm. This service is provided free of charge to city of Bunnell residents.
Hazardous waste accepted at the landfill includes used motor oil, antifreeze, lead-acid and rechargeable batteries, paints, thinners/solvents, pool chemicals, fluorescent light bulbs and gasoline.
Regular garbage pickup will occur as scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 11. Please ensure you get any rotten food out of your freezers and into your blue containers and get them out by the road tonight so they will be picked up tomorrow.
Do not place debris near water meter vaults, fire hydrants or any other above ground utility. Only debris placed on the public right-of-way will be eligible for collection until further notice.
For more information, please call the city’s debris hotline at 386-437-7500.
