About Storm Debris

guidelines so that work crews can quickly and efficiently remove storm debris
from your property.
• Most Important – Please set storm debris at
the curb away from your normal household trash and recycling; it will be
collected and documented separately.
• Place storm debris at the curb in three
separate piles: garbage, yard waste and building debris. Federal Emergency
Management Agency rules require documentation of the volume and type of debris
collected to reimburse the county for storm cleanup.
• Garbage must be placed in a 40-gallon can or
heavy mil plastic bag each weighing no more than 50 pounds. If you have a
larger county-provided container for automated garbage collection, you may use that
as well.
• Yard waste does not need to be bundled after
the storm. Place it in piles that can easily be managed by collection personnel
with a claw truck.
• To expedite collection, do not place anything
beneath low-hanging obstacles like trees or power lines or near things like
fire hydrants or mailboxes.
• Food must be removed from any appliance set at
the curb. Inedible food should be placed with the garbage.
For private or gated communities-
FEMA regulations require that private or gated
communities have a current Right of Entry and Indemnification form on file with
the City of Bonita Springs before any disaster debris recovery crews are
allowed to enter the community. Click here to download the form,
then email the form to public works- [email protected].
If you are unsure if your community has a
current Right of Entry form on file, please have your community association
manager or home-owner association president email public works- [email protected] .
