Have you called Customer Service to ask about the timing for your neighborhood?

One thing that certainly won't get them picked up ---- posting about it here.

Still waiting

I don’t understand all the posts about diverting funds from people who really need it. The federal government, including FEMA is a cesspool of incompetence. The graft and overcharging coupled with sheer ignorance is common. If TV doesn’t apply and get funds some other entity will. If the government wants to really fund something they can do it. Look at the deficit.

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!

I believe that rumor to be correct. That is why we pay taxes so that we can have all the same benefits other people get. The last time it took a long, long time for Fema to pick up the piles. If it were The Villages doing it, it would be gone presto, but why pay for something that is already covered?

Post-Hurricane Debris Haul Information - The Villages Community Development Districts

Post-Hurricane Debris Haul

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.

Thank you for your patience during Hurricane Milton’s aftermath. District staff is working hard to restore our community to “normalcy” as quickly as possible.

Suggest you read above posts? Mentioned numerous times The Villages is doing it………not waiting for FEMA! Besides FEMA ain’t got no trucks………

I thought it would be interesting to post onto this form, so that others could see how long it would take for the Fema financed, Villages managed Clean up to be executed.
My storm debris was picked up on October the 10th.

Thank you for all the constructive criticism.

90+ square miles of hurricane trash to gather, pick up and dispose of. And that is just TV. It isn't going to be gone "presto" no matter who cleans it up. Every day I see piles of trash being gathered and then disposed of. ImHo, I feel the workers are doing a great job. If you can't be patient, if you think you can do better, lend a hand. Actually, it will be best if we all just stay out of the way and let the workers do their jobs. Bitch and moan all you want if it makes you feel better, but it will do nothing to speed up the process. For us in TV it is a diminishing and temporary eyesore. Most of us can count ourselves very lucky. Have patience and prayers for those less fortunate.

So they picked up your debris a month ago and you’re still going on about it?

My mistake, I meant to say they pick up the storm debris on NOVEMBER 10th. Not October. I need to take my time and proofread my posts.

We apparently are not taking it away from them. We are waiting for them to come and pick up ours. We paid for it. Good for one. Good for all.

Hurricane Milton Debris Collection Update 11/13/2024 - The Villages Community Development Districts

Hurricane Milton Debris Collection Update 11/13/2024

Following Hurricane Milton, the Village Community Development Districts engaged our debris hauling contractor, Ceres, to handle storm debris collection throughout The Villages.

As local government entities, each District qualifies for Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) reimbursement for these cleanup efforts.

Debris removal must be accurately coordinated, tracked, and separated (by District) for FEMA reimbursement purposes; so, this is a carefully planned, monitored, and executed operation.

As of today, District 2 collection and Recreation Centers collection have been completed. Contractors are working in Districts 1 and 4 currently.

Important Reminders for Residents:

To ensure efficient collection and maintain community safety, please –

Place all storm debris in the right of way of your residential property and it MUST BE PLACED ON THE GRASS;

Do not place debris in roadways, cul-de-sacs, or on driveways; and

Keep debris clear of storm drain inlets and electrical boxes, and please do not use plastic bags for any storm debris.

Thank you for your continued patience and support and we will continue to provide updates on when you can anticipate collection in your district. If you have questions or concerns, please contact District Customer Service at 352-753-4508.

For more information, please contact Customer Service at 352-753-4508.
