If you live in unincorporated Pinellas County and you still have debris that needs to be hauled away, you are running out of time for one drop-off location.
The county is making some changes that go into effect this weekend for the corner of East Lake Road and Keystone Road. They will be closing that site to residents at 7 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 20.
On Friday there was still a steady flow of cars, trucks, and SUV’s filled with debris as residents dropped off everything from tree limbs and furniture to drywall.
One of those residents is David Blythe and he is working in overdrive.
“I took a day off of work today to be able to bring it all here, but yea, I would of liked it to go through next week because I evacuated for a week and just got back mid-week this week, so it’s kind of quick to get everything together,” said Blythe.
Then there is Tony Esposito, who is making what he hoped would be the first of several visits with what’s left of his palm tree.
“About a 30 foot palm tree came down, so I had to cut it all down and drop it off,” said Esposito.
