September 30, 2024 – Flagler County officials are notifying its unincorporated residents that any debris caused as Hurricane Helene shot past the state is to be placed at the curb on Wednesday as normal for yard waste.
“Though Hurricane Helene was absolutely devastating to parts of our state, it was not a declared emergency here, so we don’t have another avenue for debris,” said General Services Director Mike Dickson. “Wednesday is the regular pick-up day for yard waste by our service provider, WastePro.”
Yard waste does not need to be bound, tied or containerized in any manner. However, there is a limit to the amount of yard waste that can be placed at the curb each week.
Any yard waste pile that is larger than 3-feet high by 3-feet wide by 12-feet long or contains any material that is longer than five feet in length or 6 inches in diameter, will need to be picked by a separate truck. There are additional costs associated with pick-ups of this nature and these costs will be paid directly to WastePro by the resident.
“If you do not want to pay additional fees, you can place a portion of your yard trash out a little at a time for regular pick-up,” Dickson said. “Any additional yard trash should temporarily be stored in your backyard.”
