Charlotte County residents in Windmill Village told FOX 4’s Victoria Scott they were sick and tired of dealing with the growing debris pile in front of their private community.
It was more than just an eyesore.
“We are worried for safety and we are worried for health issues,” said Windmill Village resident Sandra Cahill. “That’s why I wrote an email to you last night, because I was a very concerned person living here.”

Massive debris pile gets addressed after Charlotte County residents speak out
Residents said the county initially instructed them to divide their hurricane debris into five piles in front of their homes.
However, they said that story later changed.
“They told us we’re a private community so we can’t come into your community, but if you take your debris and put it on the road, then we’ll come by and pick it up, and so we did that,” said Vice President of the Board at Windmill Village Ken Mogle. “We had a community day.”
