Before Irma hit, Florida Department of Environmental Protection staff worked with local governments and facilities to anoint disaster-debris sites, sort of a purgatory for trash before it’s moved to incinerators. (After storms, the DEP coordinates with multiple state and federal agencies, including the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, FEMA, and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.) Fuel for these incinerator power plants stood at high levels before Irma struck. In anticipation of the hurricane, Miami residents, for example, had doubled the amount of stuff they threw out in the days before it arrived. Already, some county authorities are seeing a spike in solid waste.
Look at Texas and Florida, recovering from Hurricanes Harvey and Irma. Homeowners and businesses not incapacitated by the storm have begun the arduous and emotional work of separating destroyed possessions and materials by type and placing them curbside. Cities have begun the intimidating logistics of picking it up and transporting it to its final destination.
And what is that destination? Texas’s waste-disposal strategy takes advantage of the state’s vast land. Harris County alone, which includes Houston, has 14 active landfills.
Florida, by contrast, is a peninsula with a longer coastline than any state other than Alaska, and much less room for trash. Many coastal Florida counties burn theirs, with waste incinerators particularly common around the state’s populous southern lip and up the Gulf Coast. It’s a two-fer. Combustion reduces the solid waste to ash, and the heat that’s produced runs steam generators. Much of the waste left in Irma’s path will burn, the energy released adding to local communities’ electricity.
AW Waste and Volunteers will soon be scouring the roadsides looking for trash during the year’s final Adopt-A-Highway pickup. Thousands of volunteers in the popular Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) program will be picking up litter along highway roadsides from Saturday, Sept. 23, through Sunday, Oct. 1.
“As the fall pickup approaches, we’d like to thank Adopt-A-Highway groups for their hard work and community spirit again this year,” said State Transportation Director Kirk T. Steudle.
There are three scheduled Adopt-A-Highway pickups each year: one each in the spring, summer and fall. Volunteers in Michigan have been participating in the program since 1990. Every year, Adopt-A-Highway volunteers collect more than 60,000 bags of trash. The popular program has grown to involve more than 2,800 groups cleaning 6,400 miles of highway.
Motorists should be on the lookout beginning Saturday for volunteers wearing high-visibility, yellow-green safety vests. MDOT provides free vests and trash bags, and arranges to haul away the trash.
Concrete recycling is becoming an increasingly popular way to utilize aggregate left behind when structures or roadways are demolished. In the past, this rubble was disposed of in landfills, but with more attention being paid to environmental concerns, concrete recycling allows reuse of the rubble while also keeping construction costs down.
We accept good, clean concrete material for recycling in Jacksonville and Northeast Florida. We also purchase raw concrete that can be processed into different grades of recycled concrete material, combined with additional aggregate recycled concrete.
Citizens have two options for pickup of VEGETATIVE DEBRIS (branches, yard waste, etc.):
(1) Prepare vegetative debris for collection along with your normal weekly yard waste collection. Bag or containerize up to five (5) cubic yards for weekly yard waste collection (Five cubic yards roughly equals 30 garbage bags OR a standard pickup truck bed filled to the top).
OR
(2) Pile vegetative storm debris in a large pile at the curb at least three feet away from utility boxes, poles, mailboxes, fire hydrants and other obstacles. Haulers will begin collecting these debris piles beginning MONDAY, SEPT. 25, 2017. Crews use vehicles with large mechanical arms that grab and scoop debris, so please DO NOT PLACE MATERIALS UNDER TREES or near any obstacles. Crews will be working seven days a week from sunrise to sunset but there won’t be a schedule for your particular street. Crews will make multiple passes over the entire city. Please avoid parking on the street if a first pass for pickup has not been completed.
With both options it is CRITICAL that yard waste and wood debris (branches, limbs, etc.) remain SEPARATE from construction debris and household waste. FAILURE TO KEEP DEBRIS SEPARATED MAY CAUSE IT TO BE LEFT BEHIND.
Debris removal for state roads will be handled by Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT)
“WHITE GOODS WASTE” – “White Goods” describes large appliances (refrigerators, deep freezers, etc.) Citizens can schedule pickup of these large items by calling 630-CITY.
Do NOT set out household hazardous waste (vehicle batteries, paint, chemicals). You must take those items to the Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Facility, located at 2675 Commonwealth Blvd. Citizens can also check coj.net for future HHW remote collection events..
REMINDER: Outdoor open burning is strictly prohibited without a permit.
All standard solid waste collection rules apply with a 5-cubic-yard waste limit. Any changes or exceptions to these rules as result of the storm will be communicated via local media channels, social media, the City website (www.COJ.net) and the JaxReady mobile app.
DO NOT BURN DEBRIS AND YARD WASTE.
St. Johns County initialized the Hurricane Irma debris collection program Tuesday, September 12 and will begin collecting storm-related debris (branches, limbs, brush, leaves, and routine yard waste) throughout the County in the coming days.
Damage assessment is underway, debris collection sites have been identified, and collection resources have been secured.
Residents can move storm debris curbside until cleanup is complete as contractors will make multiple passes through neighborhoods.
For more information regarding the Hurricane Irma debris collection program, please call 904-824-5550.
Clay County is preparing to execute debris pick-up related to Hurricane Irma. Recycling and curbside service (normal household garbage) will resume Thursday, Sept. 14 and continue on the normal schedule. No yard trash will be picked up with normal curbside service.
Beginning Saturday, Sept. 16, we will pick up yard waste that meets Advanced Disposal’s service standards. Service standards describe this service as leaves, grass clippings and small yard debris bagged in a 40-gallon or smaller can or heavy-duty plastic trash bag for collection not exceeding 50 pounds. All stumps, trees and limbs may not exceed 4 feet in length or 50 pounds in weight for a total of no more than 5 cubic yards. Please see additional service standard information below.
Soon, we will be announcing a schedule for pick-up of Hurricane Irma-related, large, vegetative debris and construction debris.
Clay County Officials would like to thank residents for their patience and understanding during these disaster clean-up efforts. Please direct any questions regarding debris pick-up to 904-284-7703.

Removal of Hurricane Irma-related debris in Garden City will begin on Monday.
The city will be contracting for the removal of storm-related yard debris from the curb using its mobile chipper unit. City staff will only be removing yard debris and natural vegetation. No household materials will be removed from the street.
In addition, the city stressed in a notice Wednesday night that Garden City and the rest of Chatham County is currently under a burn ban. Residents and commercial entities are prohibited from burning storm debris of any kind.
Arwood Waste Management of Savannah resumed its regular schedule for trash collection and recycling on Wednesday, with normal schedules continuing for the rest of the week. Garden City residents should continue to place only recycling in their recycling carts.
Debris is piling up all along the streets in Jacksonville and other communities as residents clean up from Hurricane Irma.
The city of Jacksonville is gearing up to pick up that trash, but it is going to take time. Contractors will begin picking up debris in 11 days, on Monday, Sept. 25. Traditional yard waste pickup of up to 30 bags has already resumed, but there are limits on size and volume in the scheduled weekly pickups.
Call: 1-904-751-2177 call today and we will clean up your debris.
“I am hearing there is more debris than (Hurricane) Matthew,” Mayor Lenny Curry said. “But we’re going to ride our team as hard and we’re going to get people’s neighborhoods cleaned up.”
Last October, contractors made several passes through neighborhoods over a period of several weeks before all the debris was collected.
Other Northeast Florida communities have also resumed regular pickups of garbage and trash and plan to begin storm-debris pickup within days.
All communities want people to know that vegetation needs to be piled separately from construction debris, which is separate from household garbage.
Jacksonville, FL – As you start deal with cleaning up the damage done by Irma, we’re getting a better idea of what trash and debris pick-up will look like on the First Coast.
Jacksonville’s routine waste collection is delayed by one day for the week of September 10th. Collections normally scheduled for Monday, September 11th, were picked up Tuesday, September 12th.
For storm debris, there are two options. You can prepare debris for collection with your normal weekly yard waste, by putting up to five cubic yards- about 30 garbage bags- in bags or containers. As a second option, you can pile debris on the curb, leaving at least three feet of space from utility boxes, poles, mailboxes, fire hydrants, and other obstacles, and avoiding placing piles under trees. Crews will be working sunrise to sunset, seven days a week, to use large mechanical arms to scoop up this debris. There will be multiple passes made by the clearing crews, but there is no specific schedule for when specific neighborhoods will be addressed.

Now the Cooks are in recovery mode with the help of friends, chopping up what’s left of the tree that damaged the home. They hope the damage, which occurred during the nor’easter not Hurricane Irma, can be repaired.
The bridges over the Intracoastal Waterway into the beaches reopened about 6 p.m. Monday, allowing residents who had evacuated to head home for the first time since Irma barreled through the Northeast Florida area.
Latham posted to Facebook on Monday, congratulating his city on surviving its third hurricane in 13 months.
“Although some homes and businesses may have been damaged, thank God there were no deaths or serious injuries,” Latham said, as he thanked city employees and their families for bearing the burden of keeping the city safe and beginning the recovery effort.
City Hall in Jacksonville Beach will be closed Tuesday to recover from some light damage and equipment failure, but will reopen Wednesday, Latham said.
Garbage, recycling and regular bulky items will be picked up as regularly scheduled on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Monday’s scheduled trash will be picked up on Wednesday. Monday’s recycling, and bulky items will be picked up next Monday. No yard waste will be picked up this week. This schedule is subject to change and/or delays due to landfill availability, which has been impacted by Hurricane Irma.
Garbage pickup in Atlantic Beach is pushed back a day this week, so if a resident’s regular pickup day is Monday, their pickup day would be Tuesday.
“Please be patient with our garbage contractor, who naturally may otherwise be delayed getting to your house this week, as there is lots of debris and some roads remain impassable,” Atlantic Beach officials said in a Facebook post.
If you have questions for City Hall, you can ask them on Facebook, email [email protected] or call 904-247-5804.
Beginning Tuesday a contractor will remove yard debris from the hurricane. It should be placed unbagged in piles curbside. Debris pick up will begin immediately. Waste Pro will resume trash service on regularly scheduled days.
