Storm household construction/demolition and tree/vegetative debris collection on local City roads continues making substantial progress. State and County roads within the City of Dunedin are being handled by the State and County. We thank you for your patience.

 

To date – more than 64,000 cubic yards of debris/1,450 loads has been collected.
White goods/e-waste crew Active.
A tub grinder is in Highlander Park mulching all the tree debris operating from 7 a.m. – 7 p.m. It is expected to be there for 4-5 days.

 

The second and final pass for household and vegetation debris will begin November 4. We estimate this will take one week to complete. We encourage residents to “push” any remaining debris not collected on the first pass to the curb. Fence collections will take place with the second pass of household debris.

 

*****Please do not place wood fencing on tree debris piles. Fencing is treated wood and should be part of household/construction/demolition debris.

Private and Commercial entities:

FEMA will not enter onto private roads and will only collect from the public right of way. Residents in private communities should inquire with their HOA or management company for details of existing disaster plans in the by-laws.

As a private/commercial community you will need to coordinate disposal on your end by a private hauler or having a container dropped off to fill and have removed.

Reimbursement for disposal will either come from the community’s insurance claim and/or FEMA claim, this is true for individual owner’s claims as well.

There are many haulers and container rental entities in the area, especially now, which are easily found through a google search. Homes in unincorporated areas, where roads are maintained by Pinellas County, must coordinate storm debris collection with Pinellas County. Contact the County at (727) 464-7500.

Recycling Resumes for Most Impacted Flooded Neighborhoods

 

Waste Pro will begin normal recycling for those neighborhoods most impacted by flooding from the recent hurricanes. Waste Pro asks that residents not mix recycling and flood debris or other trash/waste items or they will not be collected by Waste Pro.
