St. Johns County Bringing in Emergency Debris Removal Contractor
In the aftermath of Hurricane Milton, St. Johns County’s emergency debris removal contractor will join FCC in the ongoing efforts of collecting storm debris from the right-of-way. Residents are encouraged to move storm debris curbside as soon as possible. This is an additional service to support the recovery efforts in our community.
Please adhere to the following information to assist the County in its recovery efforts.
- Place storm debris in piles along the curb (not in the roadway) and at least three feet from utility boxes, mailboxes, poles, fire hydrants, and other obstacles.
- Bagged or containerized yard debris will be collected by your residential hauler on your regular yard waste collection day.
- Separate vegetation from all other storm-related debris such as construction debris and appliances.
- Normal household garbage, recycling, and bagged debris will be picked up on schedule by FCC Environmental. Please continue to follow your normal curbside collection schedule and guidelines.
- No chemicals or hazardous waste will be collected curbside. All hazardous waste may be brought to Tillman Ridge or Stratton Road Transfer Station for disposal during operating hours.
