City of Bradenton Begins Storm Debris Removal Efforts
BRADENTON, FL – In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, the City of Bradenton has initiated the assessment and removal of storm-related debris. The process is expected to take some time, and the City is asking for residents’ patience as crews work diligently to clear the impacted areas.
To ensure debris removal is conducted efficiently and safely, the City of Bradenton requests that residents follow these guidelines:
- Place your debris curbside as soon as possible.
- Priority will be given to areas with the most concentrated and unsafe debris.
- Separate debris into specific categories for proper disposal:
o Vegetative debris (trees, branches, limbs and other leafy material)
o Construction materials (wood, fencing, drywall, glass, metal, roofing materials, tile, furnishings, fixtures, etc.)
o Appliances (refrigerators, ovens, freezers, air conditioners, washers, dryers, etc.)
o Electronics (computers, televisions, etc.)
Important Notes:
- Hazardous waste (e.g., paint cans, pesticides, motor oil, batteries) will not be collected.
- Do not place storm-related vegetative debris in trash bags or cans. Vegetative debris should be placed directly at the curb, between the back of the sidewalk and the street curb.
- City of Bradenton Solid Waste services will continue as scheduled for green and blue can collections.
- The City will not enter private property to collect debris.
We encourage residents to continue monitoring our website at www.cityofbradenton.com/storm and follow us on social media @BradentonGov for updates.
We appreciate the community’s cooperation and patience during this recovery period.
