Residents of Winter Garden continue to face the aftermath of Hurricane Milton, now tackling the sizable task of debris clean-up. To streamline the process, the City of Winter Garden, supported by a contracted crew, is operating daily to remove the storm's vegetative remnants, as recently outlined in their public announcement. Despite the extensive damage, collection of storm-related debris and bulk items may happen any day of the week, diverging from the regular schedule.
The city urges residents to prepare for debris removal by promptly placing their piles curbside. An orderly process is essential for efficiency, the city instructs, with separate piles for various debris types — "Hurricane-related vegetative yard waste," "Leaves (set out in bags)," and "Bulk items (furniture, carpet, etc.)" as outlined on the City's website. This categorization aims to facilitate a swift, unencumbered pickup, but it is made clear that commingled piles could face delays.
The Public Services Department remains a resource for those with questions. It can be reached at 407.656.2256 during regular business hours, Monday through Friday.
