And their contract must be by the day.
Very unlike TV to allow trash piles to sit around for weeks at a time.
Maybe the younger management members (not family) do not share the same sense of urgency as we have become expectant of based on past performances.

Debris Collection Update 9/22/17 3:45 p.m.
As units of local government, the Village Community Development Districts are eligible for reimbursement from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for storm debris collection resulting from Hurricane Irma. Each of the Districts located in The Villages have a contract in place with a FEMA approved debris hauler, Crowder Gulf, Inc.
Residents were advised that debris collection would begin on September 15, 2017 and that all storm related debris should be placed curbside on residential property, but not in roadways, and to not place debris in plastic bags. Please also refrain from placing debris on your driveway or in front of storm drain inlets or electrical boxes.
Crowder Gulf, Inc. is collecting debris 7 days a week from 7:00 a.m. until approximately 7:30 p.m. The contractor will complete one collection throughout The Villages community which is anticipated to take three more weeks for a community that is 44 square miles.
The initial collection began in Village Community Development Districts (VCDD) No. 3 and 4 with concentration on residential streets.
• The collection in VCDD No. 3 is 95 % complete.
• The collection in VCDD No. 4 began on the east side of Buena Vista which is scheduled to be completed September 22nd. The portion of VCDD No. 4 on the west side of Buena Vista will begin on September 23rd until completed.
• The collection for VCDD No. 2 will be conducted west to east following the completion of collection in VCDD No. 4.
• The collection in the Lady Lake/Lake County portion of The Villages began September 22nd. Once that area is complete, the contractor will begin work in VCDD No. 1.
Due to severity of storm related damage throughout the State of Florida, Crowder Gulf, Inc. is working with the resources that they currently have available. The District government is working with the contractor to obtain additional local resources to expedite debris collection.
The District government has stopped regular yard waste collection until storm related debris has been collected from your residential areas. Any residual debris left following pick-up by Crowder Gulf, Inc. should be included in your regular yard waste collection.
Please stay tuned to
Village Community Development Districts as the collection process progresses in the community and additional updates are available. Please contact District Customer Service at 352-753-4508 if you have any additional questions.
