Debris Removal Continues
Since Hurricane Hermine, crews have been removing debris and beginning Friday, Sept. 9, operations will expand to include residential and business service. Leon County, the City of Tallahassee, and the State of Florida will pick up and dispose of yard waste, demolition debris, and other materials. Citizens in the city limits and the unincorporated area will be serviced within two weeks.
All debris for collection should be placed curbside between the sidewalk or property line and the curb. Debris should be separated at the curb into the following categories: vegetative, construction and demolition, appliances and white goods, electronics, and household hazardous waste. As part of the debris removal plan, please note the following:
- debris removal service will be performed for all citizens in Leon County and the City of Tallahassee
- yard waste will now be collected at the same time as storm debris until further notice
- debris removal trucks will not pick up household garbage; Waste Pro will continue to collect trash and recycling
- perishable food waste should be placed in garbage containers for regular pick up
- do not stack or lean debris against sprinkler heads, meters, poles, trees, backflows, and other structures
