Collier County Solid and Hazardous Waste Management Division has removed one million cubic yards of hurricane debris in Naples, Marco Island, Isles of Capri and unincorporated Collier County. That is enough debris to fill more than 10,000 pickleball courts to the top of the net.
“We are thrilled to have reached this milestone and realize there is much more to do,” said Division Director Kari Hodgson. “We are moving mountains to get our community cleaned up. Thank you for your patience. If you have not seen us yet, we will be there soon.”
Debris removal efforts are currently taking place in areas where there is an immediate threat to health and safety as well as public streets. At this time, Collier County is awaiting FEMA approval to enter gated communities and private roads with restricted access. Communities may use their own insurance or contractor for debris removal.
Residents also have the option to take their hurricane yard debris, free of charge, to four Recycling Drop-Off Centers. These locations are open only to Collier County residents with proper identification. Debris will not be accepted from businesses or contractors. The Recycling Drop-Off Centers are open 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday to Saturday.
