The City is offering Hurricane Amnesty Week from Monday, May 1 – Friday, May 5, 2023. Residents may place an unlimited amount of light vegetation (items such as tree clippings, branches, and palm fronds) out for pick up on their regularly scheduled vegetation pickup day this week. Overage fees, which are normally assessed for piles over three cubic yards, will be waived. All disposal guidelines should be followed, including the separation of vegetation piles from other items including recyclables, garbage, bulk and fixtures such as mailboxes and light poles.
Hurricane season begins on June 1. The City reminds the community that all major trimmings should be completed prior to this date. In the event that a storm watch or warning is issued for our area, the City cannot guarantee pick up due to high winds, so in order to ensure safety, debris piles should not be placed curbside at this time.
“The City is offering Hurricane Amnesty Week to encourage early preparation for Hurricane Season,” said Paul Iaia, the City’s Solid Waste Manager. “I hope that residents will take advantage of this opportunity.”
