Storm Debris Removal - UPDATED 10/6/2017

The removal of storm debris by FEMA approved contractors is continuing throughout the community. There are currently 20 trucks with trailers and 7 loaders that are working throughout the community to collect storm debris. They are working 7 days per week from 7:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. The debris hauler will only visit each area one time. If yard debris is placed after the initial collection, it must meet the requirements of your normal yard waste collection. The debris hauler will not return to areas to pick up freshly cut limbs or debris that was not placed roadside when the initial collection took place. If you have additional debris that exceeds the limit that your normal yard waste provider is equipped to handle, it is your responsibility to have it removed.

In addition, please DO NOT take your vegetative debris to postal and recreation centers. For those Sumter County residents that wish to drop off debris, a temporary disposal site has been established by Sumter County on CR 528 in Sumterville. The District utilizes two separate drop-off locations where the debris is burned and does not deliver debris to the Sumterville location.

We would also like to offer a huge THANK YOU to all residents who are keeping their debris in their yard along the roadway. We truly appreciate your patience and understanding while we continue to collect debris throughout the community.

· All residential areas north of CR466 have resumed normal yard waste collection. All yard debris must meet the requirements of your normal yard waste collection.
· Debris removal along the major roadways and the recreation facilities north of CR 466 is complete.
· VCDD Nos. 9 and 10 have resumed normal yard waste collection. Should there be large amounts of debris/tree limbs/stumps, they will be left and Crowder-Gulf will remove.
· Collection will continue through the weekend in VCDD Nos. 5 and 6. It will continue through VCDD Nos. 5 – 8 and VCDD No. 12 from north to south.
· Debris removal along major roadways and recreation facilities south of CR 466 is underway.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the District Customer Service Center at (352) 753-4508.

:ohdear: Don't sign up!

Getting close. Thanks.

Sea Breeze Rec Center parking lot has been cleaned from over 100 Lowes, Ace, Home Depot, Sam's, Wal Mart bags....That should free up some contractors now to tackle the neighborhoods. So where the hell did all these bags come from?? Thank the many that DUMPED their debris....and don't blame it all on the landscapers.

Shepard Landscape just cleared the Irma debris in Tall Trees. It was 6:38'pm in pouring rain but they never stopped till my street was clean. Hats off to them.

Ours was picked up at about four today, but they were there with a truck with a claw on it and two workers in cars talking on phones for an hour first. (??!!)

Hmmm, AND were they NOT a loud to do that?

I dunno. It seems that everyone is complaining about how long it is taking. But they weren't loud at all. Quiet as a mouse. Just looked to be wasting time.

Well then, U don't need to complain about the workers take'in a Break every now & then. They work there A$$ OFF every day don't ya think?

I don't know. That was the first time I had ever laid eyes on them and I was just thinking that it would make them more popular if they jumped right in and picked up the debris and continued on.

Government "workers"? lol Your taxpayer dollars at "work"!

Private industry contract workers.

Colony Cottage parking lot was being cleaned up this morning. There were two trucks and crews doing the work.

Do you still have debris, Coffeebean?

Ours is gone.

Still patiently awaiting pickup in Hadley.......

No debris pickup yet in Bridgeport at Lake Miona.
