TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - The collection of yard waste, debris and other materials left by Hurricane Hermine across Leon County and the city of Tallahassee will begin Monday.
The Tallahassee Democrat reports (http://on.tdo.com/2cvOqMG ) that city, county and state officials expect that all residents in the area will receive the collection service within two weeks.
Items eligible for pick-up include tree branches, building materials, appliances, household hazardous waste and bulky items.
The Democrat reports (http://on.tdo.com/2cHoL2P ) the state's capital city and Leon County spent over $10.3 million responding to Hermine. Deputy County Administrator Alan Rosenzweig says the local governments expect a federal disaster declaration.
Veterans of Florida's historic hurricane seasons tell the newspaper (http://on.tdo.com/2c7QyYy ) that Gov. Rick Scott did well handling the state's first hurricane landfall in 11 years, but familiar problems with communications and coordinating resources resurfaced.
