Marion County residents impacted by Hurricane Milton can expect debris collection for tree and vegetative debris to begin on Wednesday, October 16, 2024. The initial focus will be on clearing the major roadways to ensure safe passage throughout the county.
Residents are asked to place tree limbs and other vegetative debris along the edge of the roadway in areas free of obstructions such as power lines, fire hydrants, and trees. All debris must be placed curbside by the end of the day on Sunday, October 27, 2024. It is important to note that this service only covers tree debris and vegetative material. It will not collect yard clippings, construction debris, household garbage, or any materials from lot clearing.For residents who prefer to drop off debris themselves, Marion County has established three drop-off sites, which will be open from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily until October 27, 2024.
The locations are:

SW Hwy 484 and SW 57th Avenue Road – 5700 SW Hwy 484, Ocala
NE Jacksonville Road – 5823 NE Jacksonville Road, Ocala
These drop-off sites are for noncommercial debris only, and residents must provide I.D. proving they live in an unincorporated area of Marion County.
