TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — Hillsborough County is racing to clear storm debris with hopes of having it removed within 90 days.

Commissioners recently approved the decision to use $60 million from the Catastrophic Disaster Recovery Fund reserves for storm debris removal.

FEMA will reimburse the funds if the task is completed before the deadline. Oct. 14 was the start of the 90-day window for FEMA reimbursement.

“We’ll probably go over a million cubic yards of debris collected on the roadside sometime today,” said Eddie Burch, a spokesperson for Hillsborough County Public Works. “That doesn’t even include what residents have dropped off.”

Crews are still picking up debris from neighborhoods. However, many residents are choosing to drop off their debris at one of the county facilities to expedite the process.

“It takes the toll off the county,” Frankie Amarillas said. “I think we all need to pitch in a little bit and get it done because everyone is overwhelmed.”

Hillsborough County residents must show an ID or proof of residence.

“Just bring your ID,” Burch said. “If your ID does not have a Hillsborough address on it, bring some sort of bill that shows a Hillsborough address to show that you live in the county.”

There are nine debris drop-off sites across Hillsborough County.  

“Hillsborough County is working as hard as possible,” Burch said. “We brought in additional haulers to collect the debris from the recent storms as fast as we can. We’ve got haulers out working sun up to sun down.”

The following Solid Waste facilities will be open 24/7 until further notice:
