Questions and Answers
Are my regular garbage and recyclable schedules being affected?
No. Regular garbage and recyclable pickups are performed by the franchised garbage company and continue on a regular schedule as long as it is safe to do so and roadways are clear of debris. Pickup of garbage is the highest priority because of health hazards associated with putrification.
What is the schedule for debris removal?
The county has enlisted extra resources for the pick up of strom debris and will announce to the local media and on its website when crews are in what area.
A hauler came and picked up part, but not all, of my debris?
This is not unusual that a truck may pick up some of your debris but not all of it on a particular sweep. Trucks will come back later to pick up the rest.
