Hopefully the new rumor that it's going to be picked up tomorrow will turn out to be true. I like that one a lot better -- unless we see "FEMA" on the side of the trucks!

Why not go to
Village Community Development Districts. And get the answers rather than rumors and conspiracy theories?
POST-HURRICANE MILTON DISTRICT DEBRIS HAUL UPDATE 10/10/24
The District has executed a Notice to Proceed for contracted Debris Management
Collection and Removal Services resulting from Hurricane Milton. Due to the overwhelming
demand created by Hurricanes Helene and Milton, there is a shortage of debris collection
and removal services across multiple states; it will take several weeks or longer to
collect and thoroughly remove all storm-related debris. Given the amount of tree and
vegetation debris within The Villages, residents should expect a lengthy process for debris
collection and removal, depending on the area they reside within The Villages.
Reminders for Residents:
• Storm-related tree/vegetation debris should be piled in the Road Right of Way, which
is usually the 6-10’ grassy area of residential front lawns, behind the curb area.
Debris may NOT be placed on the road or multi-modal paths. Collectors will not
pick it up.
• Residential storm-related debris should be piled up by October 20, 2024, for pick-
up by our contracted debris management company. After that date, you will need to
remove your own storm debris, as the contractor will perform one sweep through
each unit. District Property Management will post a schedule on postal stations for
when each District should anticipate pick-up within their area.
• Jacobs will continue to pick up lawn clippings and residential lawn waste; they will
NOT pick up storm-related debris piles.
• Do not place household garbage or other debris for pick-up. Our debris collection
contractor will NOT pick it up.
• Do not drop storm-related debris on the roadway or recreation centers. Our debris
collection contractor will NOT pick it up.
• Do NOT use plastic bags for storm-related debris. Leave it unbagged or use
paper biodegradable bags only.
We ask for patience and understanding during this process since, as mentioned, it may
take weeks, if not more, to complete.
If you have any questions, please contact District Property Management 352-753-4022
Thank you for your patience during Hurricane Milton's aftermath. District staff is working
hard to restore our community to “normalcy” as
