“Staff and equipment has been working seven days a week for over two weeks due to Hurricane Ian. I couldn’t be more proud of the work and dedication the Solid Waste Division has demonstrated during this time,” said Utilities Director Todd Grant. “However, due to circumstances beyond our control, like equipment failure, we need to ask our residents to help by canning and bagging their yard debris. We appreciate the community’s patience and efforts to work with us during this time.”
