Debris Removal

Debris specialists like the Federal Emergency Management Administration
(FEMA) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USCOE) oversee and
monitor removal operations during natural disasters. Debris removal is a
FEMA public assistance program. The actual removal, storage and
disposal of debris is performed by local governments or by a contractor
selected by Pasco County.
Before the Storm

Several steps can be taken before a storm arrives to minimize storm debris:

  • Cut back all trees and weak branches that could contact buildings
  • Thin your foliage so wind can flow freely through branches,
    decreasing the chance trees/plants and plants will be uprooted.
  • Discard tree trimmings and debris in accordance with local laws
    and procedures at authorized sites.
  • Clear your yard of any items that could become missiles in a storm.

After the Storm

  • Separate debris into 3 separate piles: normal household garbage,
    recycling/vegetative, and building construction storm debris
  • Securely containerize all household garbage in plastic bags/cans
    for your regularly scheduled pickup
  • Don't place any debris near fences, mailboxes, power poles,
    transformers, water meters or storm drains.
