Storm debris curbside collection is now available for Kingsland residents cleaning up after Hurricane Irma. Hurricane Irma debris doesn't require residents to cut or bundle. Properly separate debris curbside to expedite cleanup. The city advises to not place debris near or on trees, poles, or other structures because it makes removal difficult. This includes fire hydrants and meters. If you don't have a sidewalk, ditch or utility line in front of your house, place debris at the edge of your property before the curb.
In order to ensure that the storm debris is collected as quickly and efficiently as possible, please separate storm debris into these categories:
Household garbage
