According to a recent press release from the county, residents who live on the beach are responsible for collecting and removing all debris from their property that landed on the beach. This means that all displaced deck boards and railings, metal pieces, broken glass and other debris must be picked up by the landowner.
Also, residents should not dump or push trash on the beach as they are cleaning deck areas, parking lots, and building sites. There should be no pumping of pool water or sump pump discharge onto the beach.
Residents in unincorporated areas of Volusia County are reminded to not place storm-related debris in bags when cleaning up their properties. Bagged debris will not be collected.
Debris must be sorted among vegetative and construction and household goods. This requirement also applies to many of the municipalities. Residents are reminded to check with their municipality or the county for specific details.
Volusia County haulers will not pick up hurricane debris that is mixed with normal household garbage. For household garbage, normal procedures will apply. If you have a small amount of yard debris, normal collection rules will apply.
Nonstorm-related items such as appliances, tires, obsolete electronics, and furniture will not be collected with storm debris. Normal residential bulky item collection guidelines will be followed.
Residential household hazardous waste (paint cans, aerosol sprays, pesticides, etc.) should not be placed curbside and commingled with the storm debris. Household hazardous waste and obsolete electronics can be
dropped off at the Tomoka Landfill or West Volusia Transfer Station free of charge.
Volusia County expects to make the first of two storm debris passes as early as Thursday, in coordination with the cities. The county provides pickup in unincorporated areas and county roads located in cities.
