MM 91 north to the county-line:

Monroe County Solid Waste will be sweeping the Upper Keys area with a clam truck for debris that does not fit in the regular yard waste collection, like trees, large tree limbs, mangled patio furniture, or sheds. If debris does fit in trash cans or can be bundled, please do so for regular collection. If it does not fit in regular trash collection, please separate yard trash from other trash (metals, roofs, etc.). Items in the Upper Keys need to be placed curbside by the end of the day on Friday, Nov. 13.

Village of Islamorada:

Please contact Advanced Disposal or the Village of Islamorada, which is not a part of the county’s solid waste collection.

Anne’s Beach south to Key West:

In the Middle and Lower Keys, there will not be large debris collection. Any Tropical Storm Eta debris will need to be placed in your regular trash collection in trashcans or cut and bundled for yard waste pickup. Call the local provider if there is something large that needs to be picked up. There will not be a collection of piles from the curbside.
