The City of Apopka released the following statement about its debris collection from Hurricane Milton:
"Between the contractor, City crews, and residents, we have collected over 28,000 cubic yard of storm debris over the past 20 days.
For perspective, we usually collect around 50,000 yard for the whole year. We are about 75% complete with the first pass. Once the first pass is completed over the next few days, the final pass will be announced to make sure everyone has put all of their storm debris to the curb.
We understand residents are tired of the debris, but we have been actively collecting with city and contractor resources 7 days per week since the storm and hope to have most, if not all, of the debris removed around the week of Thanksgiving.
Bulky and regular yard waste collection will start on schedule next week, as well, and we will now be able to sustain the regular schedule. Please continue to be patient as these conditions make things very unpredictable, and it is hard to give accurate timelines."
Orange County Public Works creates interactive map for storm debris removal
Residents can zoom in on their street to see the status of the clean-up
To assist our residents in keeping track of neighborhood debris removal, Orange County Public Works has developed an interactive map to help answer residents’ questions concerning debris from Hurricane Milton.
The map allows users to see where Orange County’s debris removal contractors are currently working and the status of the clean-up in their area.
Residents can also zoom in on their street or enter their home address to see whether debris removal on their street has been completed, is in progress, is scheduled, or will be up next.
