Contractors completed the first substantial pass of debris removal countywide Friday, Oct. 23 and are continuing to make multiple passes. The county began its recovery process in the wake of Hurricane Sally with curbside removal of debris for residents on Wednesday, Sept. 23.
County residents should have debris set out and separated (not bagged) by Tuesday, Dec. 1. The goal is to have all debris collected by the Christmas holiday. To help expedite the process, separate your debris for service. Vegetative debris like tree limbs need to be separate from construction and demolition materials like drywall and carpet. Keep debris away from storm drains, low powerlines, utilities and mailboxes.
As of Sunday, Oct. 25, Escambia County has collected approximately 2,578,135 cubic yards of debris throughout the county, which equals 403 football fields with debris stacked 3 feet high. The map below shows where debris has been collected.
Escambia County residents, that can safely do so, are asked to place any storm-generated debris on the public right of way (the area of residential property that extends from the street to the sidewalk, ditch, utility pole or easement).
Debris that was generated by Hurricane Sally should be placed and sorted on the area immediately adjoining the road in front of your home.
The county contractors have dedicated pieces of equipment for different debris streams (vegetation, C&D and stumps). Please understand that if vegetation is collected and C&D or stumps are left behind, they are not “missed,” but rather assigned to different trucks dedicated to that debris stream. Contractors cannot commingle debris streams in a single truck load. Debris will be picked up on private roads, and the county is working on getting FEMA approval for contractors to access gated communities.
