TLDR: 🌐 We have one place for all available debris information. Visit santarosa.fl.gov/1199/Hurricane-Isaias-Debris-Information for the latest updates and information.

We know your biggest question is, “When is my debris getting picked up?”
Unfortunately, we don’t have a specific date for individual streets. Debris pickup is happening throughout the county, and if you live on a county-maintained road, crews will get to you. It’s going to take time.
Here’s what you need to know:
🚛 Debris pickup is just getting started. Collection began last week, with initial efforts focused on arterial and collector roads. School bus stops were also prioritized to help keep children safe.
📋 There is no sign-up list for county-maintained roads. You do not need to report your address or register for pickup. If you live on a privately maintained road (such as a subdivision with a road maintained by a HOA), there is a separate process. Visit the webpage above for details.
📞 Please don’t call Emergency Management about debris pickup. Their staff have the same information currently available to the public. Calling them won’t provide a pickup date or speed up collection.
Here’s the reality: Santa Rosa County was heavily impacted by Hurricane Isaias. We estimate approximately 1.8 million cubic yards of debris, and the final total could be even higher. As of 11:45 a.m. today, Wednesday, October 21, just over 300,000 cubic yards have been collected.
Debris removal will take weeks and require multiple passes through the county. Our debris hauler is working through an enormous amount of material, and trucks can only carry so much at a time. If crews pick up debris on your street but leave some behind, they may need to empty their trucks before returning to finish.
We understand how frustrating it is to wait, especially when debris is piled up outside your home. We ask for your patience as crews continue working throughout our 1,100-plus-square-mile county. Pickup will take time, but collection efforts are ongoing.
Thank you for your patience as we work through this recovery together.
