MANATEE COUNTY, FL (August 12, 2024) – Manatee County debris haulers will begin their collection of storm debris tomorrow, August 13. For this collection, haulers will concentrate their initial passes through the most impacted areas of the county first, with multiple sweeps to follow.
Please be patient . . . and prepared.
Debris piles must be storm-related and should be properly separated. Vegetative debris, construction debris and white goods (appliances) should all be kept separate. No fencing should be in with the trees and limbs as wood fencing is pressure-treated and must be processed separately.
Contractors cannot pick up mixed waste.
The debris-hauling vehicles are large, and drivers should use caution in areas they are operating. Debris piles should be kept at least three feet away from any mailboxes, backflows, and hydrants and should not be blocked by vehicles. Piles also should not be under power lines or trees.
