Pinellas County Resumes Storm Debris Collection in Lealman

Pinellas County has begun collecting storm debris from Hurricanes Milton and Helene throughout all areas of Lealman, including East, Central, and West Lealman. The current focus is on vegetative debris, such as tree limbs and branches.Residents are reminded to follow these important guidelines:

1. Separate wood fence material from vegetative debris, as it’s considered construction material and will be collected separately.
2. Do not bag storm debris.
3. Place debris on the curb, away from the roadway, mailboxes, and utility poles to allow space for claw truck operation.

For regular household items unrelated to storm damage, residents should contact their usual trash collector for special pickup arrangements.To stay informed about debris collection progress and updates, residents can visit the Pinellas County Storm Debris website and view the Hurricane Debris Dashboard at https://pinellas.gov/emergency-information-3/sand-and-debris-cleanup/.The county appreciates residents’ cooperation in ensuring efficient and safe debris removal as the community continues its recovery efforts from the recent hurricanes.
