The total amount of vegetative debris to be collected countywide from Hurricane Isaias is estimated at approximately 2.2 million cubic yards. To date, county contractors have collected over 600,000 cubic yards of debris, not including additional debris collected by county staff.

Escambia County will make an announcement prior to the final pass for debris collection, so residents are encouraged to monitor myescambia.com or the Escambia County Facebook page for updates. Escambia County residents with questions about hurricane debris collection are encouraged to call 850-332-1226 to reach the debris pickup call center, which is open daily from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
