Manatee County Urges Residents to Separate Garbage and Storm Debris for Pickup

Manatee County officials are requesting that residents separate their regular garbage from storm-related debris to facilitate the cleanup process following recent storms. The county advises that debris be divided into distinct piles: vegetative debris such as tree branches, construction and demolition materials including building supplies and furniture, and appliances or "white goods" like refrigerators and stoves.

This separation is essential to ensure an efficient and safe pickup process. Official debris collection dates have not yet been scheduled but will be announced on social media and through the county's Recovery page on mymanatee.org once confirmed.

Residents are encouraged to follow the guidelines and stay updated on further instructions to assist with timely removal and cleanup efforts.
