York County has made debris cleanup free for a period of time to help with the damage following Tropical Storm Michael.
Typically debris collection costs between $25-$75 but for residents who want to schedule a cleanup before Oct. 22, it’s free, according to a news release from the county.
Residents can call the Waste Management Center no later than 5 p.m. on Oct. 22 to schedule a yard cleanup.
The acceptable size for yard debris placed on the curb is 8 inches in diameter and 10 feet in length.
Loose yard debris must be placed in clear bags. This includes grass, leaves and straw.
Stumps and construction debris will not be collected.
Do not place materials near fire hydrants or mailboxes, under power lines or near power poles, or over water meters, manhole covers or invisible fences, officials said.
Individuals who want to transport their own yard debris can bring it to the VPPSA Community Compost Facility behind the Waste Management center at 145 Goodwin Neck Road.
VPPSA will accept both commercial and residential yard debris that is 24 inches in diameter and 10 feet in length.
VPPSA will be open Sunday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. in addition to their regular hours, which are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday-Saturday.
In addition, the Compost Facility will be open on Sunday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. for drop-off of brush and “vegetative storm debris” only.
