If it’s like the last time FEMA was supposed to pick up palm fronds, etc., the trucks showed up for one day and then disappeared. The explanation from the owner of several of the specialized trucks was that the payments in the Keys were a lot higher, so all the trucks headed south. It was a couple months before the fallen fronds, etc. we’re picked up in The Villages.

Where was the announcement about removal of hurricane damage? It's hard to imagine a fleet of FEMA trash trucks. Even if they did exist, there are areas that need them just a bit more than we need them here.
The Gazette article doesn't mention if this is inside our outside the Villages. Since Marion county does not provide residential trash pickup then it isn't surprising that they aren't offering storm debris pickup either.
The latest District Bulletin had information on storm debris collection inside the Villages.
I don't recall where I saw a statement about steps being taken to avoid a repeat of the less-than-desired service during Irma.
