Huntington to Complete First Round of Debris Pickup
The Town of Huntington Highway Department will complete its first round of picking up Hurricane Sandy debris from the 785 miles of Town roads this weekend (December 15-16), after which it will begin a second and final pass through the Town to collect storm-related material.
Once a Highway Department or contractor’s truck has been down a road the second time, debris will be picked up by a resident’s trash hauler. Debris set out for collection by trash haulers must conform to standards for pick up: limbs less than six inches in diameter and four feet in length, bundled and tied, or in cans or bags weighing less than 50 pounds.
All residents should be aware that this debris will be manually loaded by refuse workers into the truck, so it is important for worker safety not to exceed the 50 pound weight limit per bag or bundle of brush. Additionally, piles of debris and large tree limbs cannot be collected by garbage trucks
To date, the Town has picked up more than 330,000 cubic yards of vegetative storm debris.
