Lake County is offering guidance on hurricane yard debris collection for members of unincorporated curbside collection.

The county’s debris contractors are “en route” and expected to arrive in Lake County by this next week.

When setting out debris, please leave enough room for garbage/recycling carts to be picked up, and remember:

• Keep storm debris separate from (normal) yard waste.

• Put grass clippings, leaves, and small twigs in the yard waste pile (use proper biodegradable bags/containers)

• Do NOT use trash/recycling carts for yard waste

This graphic from Lake County provides information on placing storm debris by your home.

Bulk pickup will be paused to allow haulers to focus on removing vegetative debris (branches, tree limbs, etc.)
