FINAL DEBRIS PICKUP NOTICE
November 3, 2020
Crowder Gulf will be making one final pass on Friday, November 6, 2020 in order to pick up any remaining storm debris. Please make sure to get any and all storm related debris pushed out to the curb before that time, but please remember to keep debris clear of the road so that it does not negatively impact traffic and cause safety concerns. This will be Crowder Gulf’s last pass through the city and Waste Pro will resume their regular pickup again beginning next week.
DATE CHANGED FOR FINAL NOTICE ON DEBRIS PICKUP
October 26, 2020
Due to potential tropical weather this week, Crowder Gulf will now begin their final pass through the city on Friday, October 30, 2020 to collect any remaining debris piles related to Hurricane Sally. They are currently assessing streets in preparation for the final pass to pickup any piles that may have been missed or had not previously been placed at the curb. Depending on any potential impacts from the storm this week, this timeline is still subject to change in order to account for any additional pickups that may be needed.
FINAL NOTICE ON DEBRIS PICKUP
October 20, 2020
On Wednesday, October 28, Crowder Gulf will begin their final pass through the city to collect any debris related to Hurricane Sally that has not been previously picked up. Please make sure any and all storm debris is pushed out to the curb (please remember not to place items in the street where it could impair traffic) as this will be the last sweep made by Crowder Gulf before we resume normal debris pickup by Waste Pro. Trucks will still be working in the area over the next week to complete the second pass through the city before starting over on Wednesday the 28th.
STORM DEBRIS REMOVAL UPDATE
September 29, 2020
Crowder Gulf is already underway on debris pickup first focusing on the hardest hit areas and will continue to work through the other areas of the City. In the meantime, we would like to remind all residents to please make sure any debris in front of your house is not laying or falling out into the roadway as this can create dangerous situations for drivers. Also, school buses will be running again in the morning and any debris piled in the street can potentially cause safety concerns and/or delays for buses, garbage trucks, utility workers, and other larger vehicles moving through areas of the City.
