HURRICANE SALLY DEBRIS COLLECTION

Escambia County contractors have collected 65,827 loads of hurricane debris. That’s nearly 3.2 million cubic yards, which equals 499 football fields piled three feet high. The third and final Hurricane Sally debris collection pass will begin on December 1st, with a goal to finish all collections by Christmas. Vegetative debris needs to be separated from construction and demolition materials like drywall and carpet. Keep debris away from storm drains, low power lines, other utilities and mailboxes. Only loose debris will be collected; bagged debris should not be placed on the public right of way.
