As of Monday, Oct. 2, the city has collected 74,200 cubic yards of debris in 17 days.
City officials estimate it'll take a total of 20 days to complete a first sweep of storm debris, which the city's contractor Crowder Gulf has been working on since Sept. 16. So far, 20 leaning trees and 3,628 hanging limbs have been removed as well. The city reminds that tree roots and large stumps will be removed after all other storm debris.
The removal crews are working from 7-7 p.m., seven days a week to clear the debris still remaining in Ormond. However, according to a press release, roads managed by Volusia County and residences in unincorporated Volusia County with Ormond Beach addresses are under the County's debris removal jurisdiction.
Volusia County hired Phillips & Jordan, Inc., as their debris contractor. The press release said by keeping the storm debris collection specific to each local jurisdiction, then the cities, county and state can maintain eligibility for FEMA reimbursement for debris removal.
However, a county debris removal schedule has not been determined at this time.
There is something residents under the county's jurisdiction can do in the meantime.
Volusia has opened three temporary residential debris reduction drop-off sites. They will be open from 7-6 p.m., Monday-Sunday, until Oct. 22.
These are the locations:
