PLEASE BE PATIENT. We will get to your property.
This first-pass collection will take 30-40 days. Please know the debris contractor will make more than one pass through City neighborhoods to pick up materials.
55,000 cubic yards of debris have been collected in the City since Oct. 5.
The City is working diligently with its debris hauling and monitoring contractors to remove storm debris in the most efficient and effective manner possible and in compliance with the FEMA guidelines. Currently, the City is authorized to collect debris on City owned rights-of-way, public parks, hazardous leaning and hanging trees in public areas and some non-gated, single-family communities.
The costs of debris collection and removal from private roadways in gated subdivisions, condominiums and commercial property are currently not eligible for reimbursement under the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Public Assistance Program, and these properties are encouraged to utilize private insurance and contractors for these services. The City has submitted a special exception request to FEMA to allow for collection within gated single-family subdivisions, and will keep the public updated on that progress.
