Waste Pro, at the request of Flagler County, will begin Hurricane Ian debris collection in residential neighborhoods in the unincorporated areas of the County, including private homeowners’ associations and gated communities to aid cleanup efforts as early as Tuesday, Oct. 11.
“We ask that all vegetative debris that isn’t already at the curb to be placed there as soon as possible for collection,” said Road and Bridge Manager Ryan Prevatt. “Ideally the debris collection contractor will have multiple teams serving several areas around the county at once to get everything collected as soon as possible. Please remember that only one pass for debris collection will be made.”
To aid removal, residents are asked to use the following guidelines when possible:
Loose Yard Waste: Must be stacked/placed adjacent to the pavement in piles that do not exceed of 3 feet wide by 3 feet tall by 6 feet long, or similar dimension not exceeding two (2) cubic yards. Additionally, individual tree limbs are not to exceed six (6) inches in diameter.
Containerized Yard Waste: Each container with yard waste shall not exceed fifty (50) pounds or be larger than five (5) feet on any side. Additionally, limbs are not to exceed six (6) inches in diameter.
Additionally, civil engineering company Eisman & Russo and disaster services firm Phillips & Jordan will be working together to identify and remove debris on public roadways.
“Last week we encouraged everyone to have their Hurricane Ian debris at the curb by this morning,” said Emergency Management Director Jonathan Lord. “It will take the debris crews a few weeks to get it all, but it is important to note that they will only be passing through each neighborhood once, and that will begin as early as tomorrow.”
Residents with unmet needs created by Hurricane Ian’s impacts in our area are encouraged to review the resources available at www.FlaglerCounty.gov/IAN.
