Storm-Related Debris Collection

 

Storm-Related Debris Collection Final Citywide Sweeps Occurred November 23-24, 2024. 

Since Hurricane Milton, our contractors collected more than 200,000 cubic yards of storm debris across the City of Bradenton—an incredible effort to help our community recover.

**If your debris was not collected during the final sweeps, email stormdebris@bradentonFL.gov to request an assessment for pickup.

 

See what qualifies as storm debris below.

 

Not storm-related: Regular household trash or recycling, yard trimmings or grass clippings from routine maintenance, or items placed out for disposal before the storms.

 

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.) 

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.
