HURRICANE LAND DEBRIS COLLECTION COMPLETED TODAY ON CUDJOE KEY, LITTLE TORCH KEY AND BIG TORCH KEY; FINAL PASS COLLECTION CONTINUES ON BIG PINE AND NO NAME KEYS

MONROE COUNTY, FL – Today, Monroe County’s contractor completed the final pass for collection of land hurricane debris on Cudjoe Key, Little Torch Key and Big Torch Key.

Final pass collection continues on Big Pine Key and No Name Key. The contractor is moving through these areas quickly and is expected to finish soon.

Today, Monroe County’s public works crews also completed moving hurricane debris from private roads on Big Pine and No Name keys to the closest County right of way for FEMA-reimbursable collection.

REMINDER: It is now illegal to put hurricane debris along all roads in the Keys.

Residents and business owners can put what fits into your regular solid waste or yard waste bins for collection by your regular haulers. You also can call your regular haulers for special pickup, which may come with a fee.

Monroe County residents still can bring their own residential hurricane debris to one of the County’s three transfer stations for free disposal. But this won’t last indefinitely, so now is a good time to finish up any remaining hurricane debris removal around your property.

For contractors and landscapers, the fee for disposal at County transfer stations always has been $123.50 per ton.
