    When will debris be picked up?

    UPDATED 10/14/2024

    The contractor and crews are on site and will continue citywide debris collection.

    They will be working seven days a week until all debris is collected. Ensure that debris is curbside and stacked according to the debris guidelines (pictured below).

    Crews will be making several sweeps and may be at your home multiple times for pickup. They will work through the rains this weekend but will stop if lightning is present.

    Please remove vehicles from the streets, it is imperative that the trucks have access to collect the debris.

    Please be patient as the crews work their way throughout the City.

    TRASH-RECYCLABLES-YARD WASTE: 
    Waste Management will be concentrating on trash pickup only for the next week or so. Residents can take yard waste to the 898 Levis St. site at no cost.

    Recyclables can be taken to three locations:
    • 898 Levis St.
    • Tarpon Springs Dog Park/Splash Park
    • Behind Fire Station 70 on Gulf Rd.
    These drop-off locations will remain open as long as necessary.

    Is it OK to drink the water from the tap?

    Yes, the City's potable water system is fully functional.

    Can I flush the toilet or take a shower?

    City crews have restored wastewater service to all City wastewater lift stations. Permanent repairs are ongoing, and residents are asked to continue to minimize water use for essential uses as several areas have temporary pump stations in place. If your neighborhood or business has a private lift station, contact the HOA or management company with any questions.


    My house flooded! What do I do next??

    • Photograph and list all damaged or lost items, including their age and value where possible. Take photos of how high the water was in the house. After photographing, remove any wet contents as soon as possible to prevent mold. Clean and disinfect everything that got wet.
    • Contact your insurance agent and file your insurance claim as soon as possible. Learn more at pinellas.gov/flood-insurance.
    • Do not work on your home that is beyond your limitations, especially with large tree branches.
    • Make sure contractors you hire are licensed - unlicensed or fraudulent contractors often target desperate homeowners in the aftermath of hurricanes. Learn more at pinellas.gov/choosing-a-contractor. If you do not have internet access, you can also call the Pinellas County Construction Licensing Board at (727) 582-3100 and choose Option 2 for Licensing to check whether a contractor is licensed.
