Pinellas County leaders say they are working to find other solutions to help commercial haulers after closing the county’s dump site to storm debris on Tuesday.
‘That’s never happened’: Pinellas County closes main dump to storm debris as trash piles up
That day, the county provided one location for commercial haulers to bring storm debris. Wednesday, two more were added.
On Thursday, Chris Nemethy, of Big Dumpz Trailer Rentals, told the ABC Action News I-Team the barriers need to be removed before the Tampa Bay area gets inundated with more rain.
“All of the debris that’s laying out, it’s going to flood, it’s going to end up spread out everywhere, it’s going to end up in our waterways,” Nemethy said.
Nemethy started posting videos to his social media , to update people on what commercial haulers are encountering in Pinellas County — being met with hurdles, as they work to help families recover. In his videos, he encourages others to contact county leaders.
