The City of Gainesville has secured a private disaster debris contractor to assist with yard waste clean-up efforts.
Disaster debris service for residential curbside customers only is expected to begin by Monday.
Due to the volume of vegetative debris, it's expected to take several weeks to collect all the debris in our community left by Hurricane Helene. Multiple passes will be made to remove all vegetative storm debris that needs to be collected.
Yard Waste
Remember these guidelines when placing yard waste curbside.
Use brown lawn bags or reusable containers for leaves, small twigs, and other loose debris.
The work of removing all the yard debris left by the hurricane will take time. The multiple neighborhood sweeps will occur in the coming weeks as the City of Gainesville manages this extended post-storm recovery. We appreciate everyone's patience as crews progress through the community.
Emergency Roof Tarps
The City is participating in "Operation Blue Tarp" and has 1,200 emergency roof tarps available for distribution.
A limit of two tarps will be provided free to each neighbor while supplies last.
