The debris along the main highways outside of the residential streets should have been picked up by the landscaping companies that work for The Villages. They are the ones the made the piles.
It would have all been done by now.
I wonder how many residents are in favor of The Villages using FEMA funds for this purpose? I'm not.

Count me as one of the residents who is supportive of the way this cleanup is being handled.
The scope of the effort is much greater than the few piles you have counted while driving to the squares. Plus, the cleanup of our area is less of a priority than the larger cleanup outside our bubble and the ongoing situation in the south of the county.
Govt. can be inefficient and slow but in this case I am willing to cut them some slack and accept that my problems, our piles of rubbish, are not the most pressing issues.
