Solid Waste & Resource Recovery

Yard Trash Notice

Cleanup from Hurricane Debby continues throughout the County. The County and their hauler, GFL, are working diligently to collect the large volume of yard trash created by the storm, in a timely manner. It is our hope to be caught up by September 1. Until that time residents should not expect their yard trash to be collected on its regular schedule.

Please remember that any yard trash placed out for collection needs to comply with the regular specifications for yard trash placed curbside. Any material outside of those specifications will not be collected by the County’s hauler, GFL. Yard trash includes leaves, grass clippings, tree and shrub trimmings, and small tree limbs. It does not include boards, fencing, landscape timbers, lumber, dirt, rocks, brick, or concrete.

The regular specifications for yard trash placed curbside are:

1. No item longer than 5 feet in length

2. No item wider than 8 inches in diameter

3. No item heavier than 40 pounds

4. All loose material must be placed in a paper yard waste bag or reusable container

Thank you for your patience as we do our best to be caught up in the next few weeks.
