Residents of unincorporated areas of Collier County, the City of Marco Island, and the City of Everglades City with piles of Tropical Storm Fay-related debris still to be collected as asked to call Collier County’s Solid Waste Management Department at 252-2380 and report the location of the pile.

Residents should move their storm-related debris to the right-of-way in front of their property no later than Sunday, then call 252-2380 and “report your pile” for collection.

Residents who can’t gather and pile storm-related debris in the right-of-way by Sunday because of standing flood water should call 252-2380 so the waste can be collected later.

■ Debris must be placed in the County right-of-way. Do not place debris piles near mailboxes, parked cars, fire hydrants, street lamps, utility boxes, or in such a way that is blocks sidewalks. The contractor will be using heavy lifting equipment to collect the yard waste and placing piles too near a mailbox or other object could result in damage.

■ Debris will not be collected from private roads, commercial property, or gated communities.

■ Horticulture debris must be separated from construction debris and bulky items.

■ Horticulture waste must be in piles and not in plastic bags; however, paper bags may be used.

■ Horticulture debris must be brown. Fresh green horticulture debris has been deemed ineligible. FEMA monitors will inspect debris piles for compliance. If a debris pile is deemed ineligible (non-storm related), it will not be collected.
