1. FEMA will be in the area

3. There are no charges for their assistance and they will not be asking for money. If someone contacts you and says they’re from FEMA and asks for money, call and report it to 757-664-6510. We will maintain a list of all authorized FEMA representatives.

The following is an update on Bulk Waste as a result of Hurricane Matthew:

A month after Hurricane Matthew slammed the region, Norfolk City teams in partnership with CrowderGulf contractors collected more than 26,000 cubic yards of storm-related debris.  That’s nearly half a football field worth of tree trucks, branches and limbs.

To make clean-up easy for residents after the storm, the City picked up bulk waste throughout October without a request.  Starting November 4th, residents are asked to once again schedule a bulk waste pickup.  Pickup will occur on the residents’ regular trash day.

CrowderGulf contractors will make a final sweep to collect large tree debris this weekend.  Beginning Monday, November 7^th tree limbs larger than 6” inches diameter and quantities more than 3 cubic yards is the responsibility of the property owner to remove.

Norfolk trash trucks are equipped with GPS.  While crews collected a majority of storm debris, a few spots may have been missed.  Residents are asked to call and schedule pickup for any storm-related debris not picked up in October.

As a reminder, do not place debris near overhead wires, water meters and fire hydrants.

To schedule a bulk waste pickup, call the Norfolk Cares Call Center 664-6510 or online at www.norfolk.gov/requesttracker.aspx

Have a wonderful weekend.
