Hurricane Helene Debris Disposal for Unincorporated Volusia County Residents

Posted On: September 27, 2024

Following Hurricane Helene, Volusia County Public Works crews have assessed the County roadways and determined the limited amount of debris does not warrant the activation of the County’s debris management contracts. Therefore, residents in the unincorporated areas of Volusia County who have debris as a result of Hurricane Helene should place it curbside on their regular yard waste collection day in accordance with the following:

• The equivalent of eight 32-gallon containers, not to exceed four cubic yards per household, can be picked up each week. 
• Palm fronds and limbs need to be neatly stacked (no need for bundles). Limbs may not exceed 4 ft. in length or 1 ft. in diameter and must weigh less than 60 pounds each. Please do not place yard waste in a 96-gallon cart. 
• Do not mix yard waste with any other types of waste.

The Tomoka Landfill, located at 1990 Tomoka Farms Road, Port Orange, is open and operating on its regular schedule from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Saturday. For more information about properly disposing of debris and yard waste in unincorporated areas, contact the Solid Waste and Recycling Division at 386-943-7889. Contractors seeking to dispose of debris must also follow their standard guidelines.

Those residing in incorporated areas should contact their local municipality for debris removal guidance. Residents are encouraged to stay informed by following Volusia County on social media, subscribing to the County newsletter, and visiting www.volusia.org for the latest updates.
