Debris removal contractors are working
throughout the City. We estimate it will take up to 20 days to complete
the first pass. The City’s contractor Crowder Gulf, began debris
collection from the City’s rights-of-way on Saturday, September 16. As of
the close of business on Monday, September 18, 204 loads of debris had been
collected (8,934 cubic yards) in three days. They have also removed 9
leaning trees and 638 hanging limbs.
The debris removal
crews are currently in neighborhoods throughout the City. Attached is a
map of areas where a first pass has occurred as indicated by red dots. Each
dot does not represent a household, but rather an area where debris has been
pushed into a pile and picked up. Root balls and large stumps will be
removed after all other storm debris has been removed. If you hire a
contractor for tree removal services, they are required to remove the debris
from your property and properly dispose of it pursuant to City of Ormond Beach
Code of Ordinance Section 10-65 Contractor Debris.
Also, please be
advised that open burning of commercial waste, residential trash,
garbage, lawn debris, clippings, trees or other debris on residential,
commercial or industrial property is prohibited within the City. (City
of Ormond Beach Code of Ordinances Section 9.2)
