It sounds to me that Crowder will assess the yard debris and not pick up what they believe is not related to the storm. How are they going to know what is not storm related unless the yard debris is still green? Anything that is browned out by the time they arrive to pick up, should be assessed as storm debris. Am I correct in my thinking?

Crowder came around early in Springdale. Sep, 13. I was shocked too see that so early. They picked-up everything I had dragged out to the curb. Like the Big branch's that fell off our tree's. Brown, Green it didn't matter. Now all I have left is 44 FULL Bags of the small stuff.....

VCDD e-Notification
Subject: Administrative Message - Special Notification to All Newsletter Subscribers Date: 9/25/2017 4:33 PM Thank you for your patience and understanding during this unprecedented event in The Villages. We appreciate the calls and inquiries we have received and the ability to explain what is transpiring regarding a number of services which includes vegetative debris removal. Although not all emails and phone calls have been returned, we are doing our best to do so. As information, the Community Development Districts do have a contract with a company to provide vegetative removal after a weather event. It is unfortunate that our contracted company, along with most contracted companies throughout central Florida, have had their subcontractors heading south for work due to monetary reasons. At this moment, the State Attorney General is actually looking into this situation and the potential legal issues involved. However, although a number of Crowder-Gulf’s (CG) subcontractors have left, CG and the District have been working diligently with the District’s contractors to become eligible debris haulers and we now have backfilled a number of the vehicles that left. There have been a number of calls, inquiries and requests for credit for the lack of yard waste pickup by our contracted hauler, CH2MHILL. The company was directed to not pick up yard debris from the storm. While there are numerous valid reasons for doing so, including logistics, the salient point is that the company will be expending additional time and work to follow behind the contracted debris hauler to guarantee all debris has been removed. Once a District has had all residential storm-related debris removed, normal yard waste will resume the following Wednesday. Due to the limited amount of debris in Districts 9 and 10, a decision has been made to resume CH2MHILL removal of yard waste. However, should there be large amounts of debris/tree limbs/stumps, they will be left and will be picked up by CG. Districts 3 and 4 will also have normal yard waste removal resumed this week as storm debris will have been removed by that time. In addition, you are reminded to not take your vegetative debris to postal and recreation centers due to safety concerns. Please note that while your home may not have substantial vegetative debris, that is not the case throughout The Villages. Please bear with us as we work very hard to say good bye to Irma’s remnants and respectfully request your patience during the clean-up. |

Lets be glad that our houses were left intact by the hurricane and its only lawn debris that needs to be cleaned up around TV. It will get done and order will be restored.
Now if it was me and I had a lot of debris from my personal property, and I didnt want it sitting there, I would just hire landscapers with a truck to dispose of it for me. In this out of the norm circumstance just do it yourself...we have become conditioned thinking the governmental authorities have to do everything for us. |

And, where are the crews and trucks which once a week pick up yard waste. The bushes have not stopped growing and the palms have not stopped shedding. What is wrong with resuming the regular schedule to just pick up the normal yard waste bags ? For goodness sake, limit it to four bags a house if the bureaucrats are scared someone might be up all night shredding yard waste to put it into bags in an attempt to scam the system. What are these crews and trucks doing ? It seems everyone wants the Federal Government to pay for it all through FEMA approved contractors, but it is not getting done. Again where are the trucks and crews which normally do this and why aren't they attending to their contracted responsibilities ? It sounds like lawyers are again involved deciding whether a broken twig is a result of storm damage or normal trimming.
