Following Hurricane Helene, Volusia County Public Works crews have determined the limited amount of debris does not warrant the activation of the county’s debris management contracts, a press release announced.

Residents in the unincorporated areas of Volusia County — such as Ormond-by-the-Sea — who have debris as a result of Hurricane Helene should place it curbside on their regular yard waste collection day in accordance with the following:

The equivalent of eight 32-gallon containers, not to exceed four cubic yards per household, can be picked up each week.
Palm fronds and limbs need to be neatly stacked (no need for bundles). Limbs may not exceed 4 ft. in length or 1 ft. in diameter and must weigh less than 60 pounds each. Please do not place yard waste in a 96-gallon cart.
Do not mix yard waste with any other types of waste.

Resident in Ormond Beach should also place their storm debris alongside regular yard waste on their respective collection day.
