Flood Recovery Update: Disaster Debris Collection Begins This Week

The City of Palm Bay will begin disaster debris collection this week as recovery efforts continue following the recent flooding.

Residents are asked to begin preparing their debris for collection by separating materials into appropriate piles, including vegetation, construction and demolition materials, and flood-damaged household items. Appliances, electronics, and hazardous materials require separate handling and should not be mixed with other debris.

Please follow these guidelines when placing debris curbside:

• Place debris beside the curb in the public right-of-way.

• Keep debris types in separate piles. Do not bag disaster debris.

• Keep roadways, sidewalks, driveways, and storm drains clear.

• Avoid placing debris near mailboxes, fire hydrants, utility equipment, trees, or under power lines.

Proper debris separation helps ensure safe and efficient collection. Mixing debris types may delay pickup.

Please review the attached flyers for detailed guidance on separating and safely placing debris for collection.
