City of Sarasota storm debris pickup starts on Monday, here are some guidelines

Pickup for Hurricane Helene debris will begin Monday, Oct. 7. When placing debris curbside for pickup, remember the following

Separate debris into 4 piles:

𝟏. Construction debris – carpeting, dry wall and other flood-impacted construction materials

𝟐. White goods – appliances including refrigerators, ranges, washing machines, dryers, air conditioning units and water heaters

𝟑. Bulk items – furniture and accessories, mattresses and other items affected by flood water within a home or structure

𝟒. Vegetative debris – downed tree branches, limbs and vegetative material resulting from Hurricane Helene

When placing debris curbside, please leave space between piles and mailboxes, trees, water meters, etc. to allow for collection equipment to be maneuvered. Using plastic bags for storm debris disposal will delay or prevent pickup.
