City of Apopka to begin storm debris pickup by Monday, Oct. 21

From the city of Apopka
DEBRIS GUIDELINES: Contracted haulers will begin to collect storm debris by Monday, October 21, 2024. Your patience is appreciated, as these crews clean up the City of Apopka.

Is your pile ready to be collected? If not, consider making these adjustments to help collection go faster.

DO: Separate your debris into categories.
DO: Place debris in loose piles at the curbside.
DO: Combine with neighbors to create larger piles that are more efficient for the claw trucks to pick up.

DON’T: Do not place on streets or sidewalks.
DON’T: Do not combine vegetative (yard) debris with building materials or large items – make two separate piles.
DON’T: Do not block storm drains, fire hydrants, meters, utility poles, water mains, transformers, mailboxes, or other structures, OR place under trees, power lines, or poles, making it harder for the claw truck to pick up.
DON’T: Do not include normal household trash or hazardous waste.

Can’t wait? Drop off debris at the Landfill or our Storm Debris site located off Appy Lane at the Northwest Recreation Complex (Gate 5).
