County Plans Final Tornado Debris Sweep In Ferry Pass

May 10, 2016

The Escambia County Commission has approved an additional sweep of the Ferry Pass area for debris generated by the tornado in February. In cooperation with Escambia County, Emerald Coast Utilities Authority crews will make a final pass through the impacted neighborhoods on Monday, May 16. Residents in the unincorporated areas of Ferry Pass with storm related debris are asked to move all debris to the right of way no later than Sunday, May 15.

Residents are asked to remember that:

  • All storm generated debris must be separated and be placed in the right of way. Residents should avoid placing debris near power poles, fire hydrants, water meters, mail boxes or other utilities. Crews are not allowed on private property so all debris must be in the right of way area, typically the area from a power pole to the curb.
  • No demolition debris will be picked up, please consult with your insurance company and/or contractor for demolition debris removal.
  • Do not place household garbage with storm debris. ECUA residential customers will receive normal garbage collection on their normal pickup day.
  • Storm generated debris must be sorted and placed curbside in the following categories:
    • Construction – furniture, carpet, tile, steel, glass, brick, concrete, asphalt roofing material, pipe, gypsum wallboard, lumber or anything used in the construction, renovation, and demolition of a structure.
    • Vegetative debris – Tree limbs, leaves, logs, pallets, and tree branches.
    • White goods – washers, dryers, refrigerators, ranges, microwaves, water heaters, freezers and small AC units.
    • Electronics – T.V.s, computers, monitors, fax machines, stereos, speakers, etc.
    • Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) – Cleaning supplies, batteries, lawn chemicals, oils, oil-based paints and stains and pesticides.
  • Commercial customers, please contact your contracted waste services provider for disposal services. Commercial waste should not be placed on the right of way.

Debris pickup continues in the Town of Century, and City of Pensacola residents should contact their waste service provider for any debris removal services.
