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.
