Press Release 22-54 Hurricane Debris Removal Information

(November 8, 2022) The City partners with Collier County’s debris removal contractor, Ashbritt to pick up hurricane debris.  Debris pick up began on Marco Island on October 3rd and to date over 63,900 cubic yards of debris have been collected.  Ashbritt has between 6-12 hauling trucks on the Island each day.  They are committed to picking up debris on every street until all debris is collected. Some residents who live on a cul-de-sac may have seen that debris on their street was picked up, but the homes on the cul-de-sac were missed.  In these cases, Ashbritt will come back with smaller trucks to pick up debris in the cul-de-sacs.     

Please ensure that all debris is properly sorted into the categories identified in the image below.  Some residents have called the City, the County, or FEMA to find out when their street will have debris collected.  The proper customer service phone number is 239-252-2380 however, they do not keep a list of street addresses and they can not tell you when your street will be picked up.  All areas will have more than one pick-up if needed, and all streets will have the hurricane debris removed.   

Residents have the option of taking hurricane yard debris to the Marco Island Recycling Drop-Off Center at 990 Chalmer Drive in Marco Island from Monday – Saturday between 8:30am to 4:30pm free of charge.  Only yard debris can be dropped off at this location.  Debris will not be accepted from businesses or contractors.   

Please be patient as the debris collection continues.  A thorough list of frequently asked questions is on the City’s website: https://www.cityofmarcoisland.com/emergency/page/hurricane-debris
