How is this interfering with your daily activities?

[kansasr]

If it bothers you so much, go pick some of it up and find a place to dispose of it.

[UpNorth]

If you think the piles look bad now, wait to see what's left of the grass after they get picked up.

[Two Bills]

It will all definitely be gone tomorrow.

You said it right. People know we aren't supposed to talk about Fema and stuff on here. I say that I am just fine waiting for the Feds to pick it up. We already paid in to it. We are living here because most of us have taken good care of our money. Saved it. Reused stuff. Didn't spend it on foolishness and all those other virtues. It's been a great week for most of us.

Is there a reason this stuff cannot be burned for generating electricity?

I know it’s a bubble that we live in. But if you leave you will see that all over central Florida there are similar piles of debris everywhere.

Only so many people and so much equipment to remove.

Rent a chipper and a muncher and go into business. Ground cover, mulch, etc. By the bag or by the truck load. My garden could use a few cubic yards.
Just a thought.

Go to the costal towns and then you will see and smell debris piles. Whine all you want, you have it easy compared to those that lost everything.

Does it bother you? The Villages has done a great job of dealing with the debris from the hurricane. Also, the new fall flowers have been planted.
What do you expect them to do? If it is a problem for you, go pick it up yourself!!!

[Rwirish]

How many notifications need to be sent out? Check District Gov.

Yes, there is LOTS of debris. It appears they don't have enough teams and equipment to move more quickly. I agree it IS getting old, though.

[cwmmfink]

Travel Southwest to the Gulf. You will see real debris.

[La lamy]

I decided to put all my debris in 4 foot by 6 inches bundles as I read is recommended for regular pick up. I hope this will get it done this next garden debris pick up. Otherwise I'll bring it to the dump myself.
