**For Immediate Release**

WALTON COUNTY GATED COMMUNITIES ACCESS REQUIREMENTS FOR STORM DEBRIS

Good afternoon everyone, please see the attached press release.

10/16/2026

WALTON COUNTY, FL

Just a reminder about Debris Collection and what to expect:

Storm debris cleanup is a big job, and it takes time! As collection crews work through affected neighborhoods, here are a few important things to know:

🔄 Expect multiple passes. Crews may visit your neighborhood several times throughout the collection process. If your debris isn't picked up on the first pass, don't assume you've been missed!

🌳 Different debris, different trucks. Collection trucks typically pick up only one type of debris at a time. Vegetative debris, such as tree limbs and branches, is collected separately from construction and demolition debris.

🚧 Crews are working throughout the community. Collection routes and schedules depend on debris volume, accessibility, safety and other operational factors.

🏡 Proper placement helps! Keep debris separated by type and place it in the designated public right-of-way, away from mailboxes, utility poles, fire hydrants and other obstacles.

Thank you for your patience! Storm debris removal is a process, not a one-day event. Your cooperation helps crews work safely and efficiently as our community recovers.

If you have any questions regarding debris, please contact the Community Information Center at 850-892-8394.
