Cleanup Information
Solid Waste and Debris Removal
Please be patient after the storm has passed. The County, along with its contractors, will be working hard to ensure everything within its legal jurisdiction is collected in a timely manner. Depending on the severity of the storm, this may take more time than normal.
The County's legal jurisdiction is pick-up of solid waste and/or debris that is placed in a public right-of-way. The County is not permitted to pick up along private roadways or enter private property to retrieve debris.
Following these simple steps will facilitate expedited clean-up:
1. Separate your waste into the following categories: household garbage, recycling, appliances, bulky waste and yard trash. To the extent possible, 4' - 6' of space should be left between piles.
2. Secure all household garbage in your trash container. Any excess can be brought to a Rural Waste Center at no charge. Locations of the Rural Waste Center are:
Woodville at 549 Henry Jones Road
Ft. Braden at 2485 E. Joe Thomas Road
Miccosukee at 13051 Miccosukee Road
Blount at 4363 Holder
Visit www.leoncountyfl.gov/solidwaste/ruralsites.asp for directions.
3. Do not place any debris near a fence, mailbox, driveway, power line equipment, poles, transformers, downed electrical wiring water meters or storm drains.
Please remember that Leon County's FIRST priority will be to open streets and remove debris from the rights-of-way of major roadways, so that transportation corridors can resume functioning at capacity.
