The City of Melbourne’s disaster debris contractors have been making good progress in removing vegetative debris from city neighborhoods. The contractors are working throughout the city to remove all vegetative debris from Hurricane Nicole and have completed work in several zones. They still have a number of areas to get to, but are expecting to be finished in the next few weeks.
Your cooperation and continued patience is much appreciated during this period. As you prepare to place your debris curbside for collection, please adhere to the following guidelines:
-Do not place debris on top of utilities, for example: cable, phone, electrical, meter boxes, storm drains or fire hydrants.-Please do not place debris in front of or around your mailbox. -Avoid placing debris in front of or around your driveway, as emergency vehicles may need to enter the area.-Please drive with extreme caution in areas with large debris piles.-Please do not block or dump any debris into the storm drains or ditches. This will cause a flood hazard.-Please aid contractors by sweeping excess and loose debris from the street in front of your house.
Please note that this operation is ONLY for disaster vegetative debris. Garbage and recycling in carts, bulky household waste, and with yard waste in resident’s own cans, will be collected by Waste Management on the regular collection days.
