STORM DEBRIS REMOVAL BEGINS TODAY

The City of Fort Walton Beach has contracted with DRC Emergency Services to clean up storm debris from residential neighborhoods, beginning today (Wednesday, Oct. 14, 2026).

The City is able to provide this service to residential sanitation customers because the cost is reimbursable by FEMA.

Commercial businesses and large multi-residential complexes are not eligible for this program.

Commercial businesses and large multi-residential complexes can use a hauler of their choosing, or contact the City’s Solid Waste Division at 850-833-9655 to arrange a special pickup at current city rates plus dumping fees.

📌📌📌Guidelines for residential storm debris pickup📌📌📌

We accept:
1. VEGETATIVE DEBRIS (trees, limbs, shrubs, etc)
2. STORM-RELATED CONSTRUCTION DEBRIS (fences, docks, carpet, furniture, etc)

✅Please use separate piles for each (they’re disposed of differently)
✅Please limit the length of debris to 8-10 feet
✅Pile storm debris on the curbside, well away from hydrants, mailboxes, or above-ground utility boxes.
✅Pile debris loose: Contractor cannot pick up bagged items
✅No hazardous waste, tires, electronics, etc.

You do not need to schedule a storm debris pickup for your residence. Simply place it at the curb, and crews will remove it as they work through their routes.

DRC will make 2-3 passes through neighborhoods over the next two to three weeks to ensure that all the debris is collected.

During this time, the city’s regular yard waste collection service will be suspended.

PLEASE NOTE: The City is contracting with DRC for this cleanup service. No DRC employee or subcontractor will ask you for payment.

If you have any questions, please contact the Fort Walton Beach Sanitation Division at 850-833-9655.
