Now that the removal of yard debris and downed trees is almost complete (removal of additional debris along Gun Bluff and debris in the Battery Park area is to be completed in the next few days), the contractor assigned to Ocean Ridge for all trash and debris removal has asked that all drywall, wood framing, wood molding and other wood products, insulation, furniture, mattresses, box springs, beach chairs, umbrellas, and other like household items that sustained water damage from the Hurricane be placed at curbside in the front of your home for pickup. DO NOT PLACE CONTAINERS OF PAINT, DRYWALL COMPOUND, LAWN PRODUCTS, SOLVENTS, OTHER TOXIC MATERIALS, OIL, PETROLEUM PRODUCTS, TVs OR OTHER ELECTRONIC DEVICES, WITH THE HOUSEHOLD TRASH TO BE PICKED UP. THOSE ITEMS WILL NOT BE PICKED UP, AND IF MIXED IN WITH THE HOUSEHOLD TRASH WILL CAUSE THE HOUSEHOLD TRASH NOT TO BE PICKED UP AS WELL. Appliances will not be included in this pickup. The pickup of appliances will occur at a later date. Any questions relating to household trash and pickup should be directed to Horace Kinsey at Southern Community Services (843-869-4300).
