Update Regarding Debris From Hurricane Matthew

10/27/2016

7 Comments

 
10/27/16 at 8:45 a.m. -  Nassau County will continue to pick up debris on County maintained roads from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm, seven days per week.  Debris pickup will begin on the West side of the County on Saturday, October 29th. 
 
In an effort to be the most effective the debris contractor is working as efficiently as possible, and focusing on major debris removal, therefore, it is important to note that there may be some sticks and/or leaves left behind.  Some lawn maintenance may be required by the property owner. 
 
To assist with cleanup efforts citizens are reminded of the following:
 
  • Paper or plastic bags left at the curb will not be picked up, and may prevent the contractor from picking up any debris left at the site.
  • Bagged debris will not be emptied by the contractor.
  • Large limbs and logs may require additional equipment, therefore, this type of debris may be left behind on the first pass through a neighborhood.
  • Separate the yard debris such as limbs, leaves and logs from construction/demolition debris.  Failure to separate the debris will prevent the contractor from picking up any debris at the site.
  • Appliances and furniture will not be picked up.
  • Household hazardous waste such as paint cans, batteries and electronics will not be picked up.
 
Two locations are available to residents to drop off vegetative debris:
 
  • Bailey Road Maintenance Yard in Fernandina Beach located at 3163 Bailey Road
  • Hilliard Maintenance Yard in Hilliard located at 37356 Pea Farm Road
 
Proof of Nassau County residency is required to use these sites.  Proof of residency may include a government issued ID, a utility bill, etc.  These sites will accept vegetative debris only and will not be able to accept construction/demolition debris.
 
Updates concerning debris pickup will be communicated through the County’s news website, www.thecountyinsider.com, and the County’s FaceBook page, https://www.facebook.com/nassaucountyfl.
 
For additional information, please contact Nassau County Engineering Services at 904 530-6225 or Road and Bridge at 904 530-6175.

They will have crews working simultaneously on both sides. They are not ceasing pick up on the east side. Please call the road department to answer all your questions as they have been dealing directly with the contractor. Thank you.

Yes, the location on Woods Lane in Callahan was closed due to inactivity. The locations in Fernandina and Hilliard area still open and the addresses for those locations are included in the story above.

The contractors are working seven days per week picking up debris from County maintained roads and will continue to do so until it has ALL been picked up. They started on the east side and are working west. The contractor has been providing updates to the Road & Bridge Department regarding what areas they have worked so far. You may contact the Road & Bridge Department at (904) 530-6175 to see if the contractor has given any indication of when they will be to your area.

Is there an ordinance or law that allowed the county to pile debris on yards to clear roads? Our insurance company is refusing to pay to replace our lawn, which was destroyed by the debris piled there after our road was cleared.

Any debris laying in the County roads creating a safety hazard was moved to the County right-of-ways and since we were under a state of emergency, we were able to utilize a continuing contract to have a contractor remove it and get reimbursed by FEMA.

However, I looked up your name on the property appraiser website and located a piece of property on North 15th Street. If this is your property, please be advised that Nassau County had no part in this clean-up and it was completely handled by the City of Fernandina Beach because this property is in the city limits. You may wish to contact them directly at (904) 310-3310 or e-mail Fleet Director Jeremiah Glisson at jglisson@fbfl.org.

If the above property is not yours and you are in fact in the County limits, please e-mail our Public Works Director at sherring@nassaucountyfl.com with your address and he will be happy to look into this issue for you.
