Updated Sept. 24, 2019: The storm debris contractor will be finished with their collection on Wednesday 9-25-19. The town will be back to normal operations with current ordinances and schedules in place for yard debris collection starting Monday 9-30-19. Also following collection from the town on Monday, we are going to be running our street sweeper. Just a friendly reminder to keep the streets clear of debris because this eventually ends up in our stormwater drains (which can cause clogging of the lines and possible backups) then to our creeks, streams and estuaries.

September 11, 2019:

While the debris resulting from Dorian is considerably less than that resulting from Florence, it is still at a volume greater than the Town staff is capable of removing in a timely fashion. Consequently, the Town has activated the contract it has in place with TFR Enterprises, Inc. for storm debris removal.

 

TFR will begin collection on the morning of Friday, September 13th. Please try to have your vegetative storm debris curbside by 8am Monday, September 16th.  Vegetative debris should be placed  along the curb, not in the road. DO NOT place vegetative debris in bags or containers. Construction debris and bulky items must be placed in separate piles. The contractor will not pick up any debris that is mixed. Bulk item pick up needs to be scheduled with Town Hall by Monday at 5pm for pick up on Wednesday.
