Clearing up debris pickup questions

[admin]

Storm debris pickup continues in Jackson County, but officials want to clear up confusion about how they're picking up debris.

Contractors will be making at least three passes on roads to pick up debris.

Crews may leave one road to attend to a more serious safety issue in a different location.

Officials remind locals certain equipment might not be able to pick up the debris in that particular pile.

County officials ask the public to be patient. They said the majority of the pickup process will play itself out.

"There may be isolated instances where you need to call and let Road and Bridge know that something's going on and they can relay that information to the contractors," Interim County Administrator Wilanne Daniels said.

There will be two certified pile burner courses on Tuesday, November 27 and Wednesday, November 28 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Ag Extension Office on Penn Avenue.

The course is free and will certify participants to burn debris in the areas affected by Hurricane Michael.
