Storm Household & Tree Debris Collection Update

Storm household construction/demolition and tree/vegetative debris collection on local City roads continues making substantial progress. State and County roads within the City of Dunedin are being handled by the State and County. We thank you for your patience.

To date – more than 64,000 cubic yards of debris/1,450 loads has been collected. White goods/e-waste crew Active

A tub grinder is in Highlander Park mulching all the tree debris operating from 7 a.m. – 7 p.m. It is expected to be there for 4-5 days.
