Storm debris collections continue as Icot Blvd. site closes to the public Nov. 17

The storm debris disposal site for residents of unincorporated Pinellas County at 13600 Icot Boulevard, Clearwater, will close to the public at 6 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 17.

After Sunday, unincorporated residents will still be able to hire a hauler who has access to a private debris site or wait on collection by Pinellas County's debris contractor. Pinellas County anticipates completing its first pass of debris collection by Thanksgiving, and remaining storm debris will be collected during a final pass.

The Icot Boulevard site is closing to the public because the number of loads eligible for FEMA reimbursement has been decreasing week over week, and the County is making significant progress with collections. As of Thursday morning, the County had collected 12,861 loads of storm debris netting 366,831 cubic yards.

Residents who live in a city and have questions about storm debris management should contact their city.
