Deputy Manager Israel Serrano represented the District  at a County meeting to discuss the pickup of debris from Hurricane Milton. Here is a summary of that meeting.

The County has their contractor ready to go. All yard and construction debris are to be placed on county right of ways. Private roads will do the same, and place debris on the edge of their road. Yard debris is to be placed separate from construction debris, meaning roof material, doors, windows, aluminum, etc. Small yard debris like moss and small sticks will be too hard to pick up if not in a bin. The ground crews will not pick up the small stuff. Please DO NOT PUT DEBRIS IN PLASTIC BAGS. Plastic cannot be mixed with yard debris. 

Pick up will begin Monday, October 21, and only one pass will be made. One for yard and one for construction. Zones will be implemented so residents can see where pickups are happening.

You can monitor all of this on the County web site, the County FACEBOOK page, and the News-Sun.

The District is not involved in this process, so do not call our office for help; contact the County.
