I can't see the normal debris people doing it as it is a monumental task at this point not your normal couple of bags per house. My neighbor has out 15-20 bags and so do other neighbors. This may all take a while to figure out.
The normal pickup people would not be reimbursed by FEMA because they are not certified catastrophe cleaner uppers. It's the FEMA rule and has been explained by TV many times. This cleanup if paid for privately would cost a ton of money, which would eventually impact us residents. We have to let TV figure this out. They are trying to get their haulers certified.

If you drive through neighborhoods outside of TV, there is a lot of debris waiting to be picked up. Everyone send to be in the same predicament
