EXTENSION: County Extends Curbside Vegetative Debris Collection Through November 3

In an effort to ensure storm debris collection for every County resident, Leon County has extended curbside collection for vegetative storm debris for unincorporated County residents to run until Sunday, November 3. All unincorporated residents are encouraged to bring any remaining debris to the curb for collection now.

Following Hurricane Helene, Leon County began debris collection on Saturday, October 5 and debris haulers have been working every day since.

The extended curbside collection will continue on both public and private roads within unincorporated Leon County to ensure ample coverage for all residents.

As citizens continue their cleanup efforts, it is essential to remember the following tips:

  • All debris for collection should be placed curbside between the sidewalk or property line and the curb.
  • Keep vegetative debris loose and unbagged at the curb.
  • Only vegetative disaster storm debris will be collected.
  • Be careful and safe when moving large, bulky storm-related debris to the curb.
  • Debris removal trucks will not pick up household garbage; Waste Pro will continue to collect trash, recycling, and smaller yard debris as usual on their normally scheduled days.
  • Do not stack or lean debris against sprinkler heads, meters, poles, trees, backflows, and other structures.

For information on how best to organize debris and how to safely place materials at the curb, please review the included debris disposal guide.
For more information on the County’s vegetative debris collection efforts, visit the County’s Emergency Information Portal at LeonCountyFL.gov/ei.

For questions regarding debris collection in the unincorporated area of Leon County, citizens can call 850-606-1500 or submit a request online at LeonCountyFL.gov/ServiceRequest. For more information, contact Leon County Community and Media Relations at CMR@LeonCountyFL.gov.
