Debris Removal Daily Report 10/24/2024

STREET SWEEPING BEGAN OCTOBER 23RD ON THE EAST SIDE OF GULF BLVD. WE HAVE ASKED THE SWEEPERS TO USE WATER WHEN SWEEPING TO REDUCE THE DUST.

**Please do not overfill dumpsters**

TRASH

Waste Connections will return to their normal trash removal schedule — on the streets that are fully accessible.

DEBRIS

The 1st push is complete for the East Side of Gulf Blvd., and the 2nd push will begin next week.

FOR THE IMMEDIATE DEBRIS REMOVAL, PLEASE FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES:

ALL DEBRIS IN BAGS NEEDS TO BE REMOVED FROM THE BAG
SEPARATE YOUR DEBRIS AT THE CURB (SEPARATE LANSCAPE MATERIAL / BUILDING MATERIALS / WHITE GOODS & ELECTRONICS)
NO WHITE GOODS AND ELECTRONICS REMOVED AT THIS TIME (those items will be removed separately)

DO NOT STACK DEBRIS AROUND MAILBOXES AND UTILITY BOXES AND POLES.

Our contracted debris hauler is anticipated to be substantially complete (not completely clean) by NOVEMBER 5th.

The hauler is also shifting additional resources to the west side of town for sand removal to facilitate debris removal in that area. The hauler is bringing in extra equipment and personnel to complete this critical task.

PLEASE TRY TO KEEP THE STREET CLEAR OF VEHICLES SO THE DEBRIS HAULERS CAN GET THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOODS.

SAND

Sand removal began October 21st. Crews hauled 548 cubic yards of sand from the northwestern side of the island. They are continuing to work on sand removal and prioritizing areas of the town that are blocking street access

Pinellas County has opened a sand drop-off site starting Wednesday, Oct. 16, from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Sand Key Park, 1060 Gulf Blvd., Clearwater for all county residents and businesses looking to dispose of storm-related sand from their property. After today it will be open 7 days a week from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Bulk sand only. No storm debris, vegetative, construction or demolition debris. For other debris visit Pinellas.gov/debris to find disposal sites.

No Sandbags. Keep your clean sandbags to reuse them. If you wish to dispose of clean sandbags, spread the sand on lawns or landscape beds, do not dump them onto the beach.
