Storm Debris Removal in The Acreage
When a storm moves through The Acreage, the pile in your yard is only half the problem — the wet material inside the house is the part on a clock. We haul storm debris throughout The Acreage and the rest of Palm Beach County, covering ZIPs 33412, usually within a day or two.
Neighborhoods we work in regularly include Santa Rosa Groves, Deer Run, Hamlin Blvd corridor, Orange Blvd corridor, Seminole Pratt Whitney corridor, Coconut Blvd corridor. We handle gate access and can provide a certificate of insurance for HOAs and property managers.
Disposal authority for The Acreage
Household hazardous waste and specialty disposal in Palm Beach County are handled through Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County. Curbside storm-debris collection schedules after a declared event are announced by the City of The Acreage, so check their notices for pass dates and separation rules.
What we haul after a storm
Downed tree limbs and palm fronds, fence panels and posts, ruined patio furniture, waterlogged carpet and padding, soaked drywall and baseboard, damaged appliances, garage contents that took on water, screen-enclosure frames and torn screening, and shingles or soffit that came off the roof. If it can be lifted into a dump trailer by hand, we can take it.
Why waiting on county debris crews takes weeks
After a named storm, municipalities activate contracted debris-removal crews that run route by route across the whole city. Vegetative debris and construction-and-demolition debris are collected in separate passes, and the first pass on a given street can be days or weeks out depending on the size of the event. Anything that does not meet the separation and placement rules gets skipped and waits for the next pass.
Separate your piles before anything gets picked up
Storm debris programs almost always require material sorted into distinct piles at the right-of-way: vegetation, construction and demolition debris, appliances (white goods), electronics, and household hazardous waste. Mixed piles are the number one reason a pile is passed over. Keep every pile clear of mailboxes, fire hydrants, storm drains, and parked cars.
Wet building material is a mold clock, not a debris pile
Soaked drywall, insulation, carpet, and padding start growing mold quickly in South Florida heat and humidity. Getting that material out of the structure fast is a remediation step, not a cosmetic one — and it is the part that cannot wait on a municipal pass. This is the single most common reason homeowners call a private hauler after a storm.
Document everything before it leaves your property
Photograph every damaged item and every pile from several angles before it is hauled, and keep your hauling receipt. Insurance adjusters routinely ask for proof of what was removed and what it cost to remove it, and cleanup costs are often reimbursable under a policy.
What we cannot take
Household hazardous waste — gasoline, propane tanks, pool chemicals, solvents, paint, motor oil, and batteries — has to go to a county household hazardous-waste facility. We also do not handle standing-water pumping, structural demolition, or roof tarping.
Get ahead of the next one
Clear the yard before the cone gets close
Loose junk in a yard becomes projectiles in 90 mph wind. Old patio furniture, a dead grill, scrap lumber, a broken fence panel, or a pile of trimmed branches should be gone before a storm is named, not after.
Do not put a bulk pile out during a watch or warning
Most South Florida cities suspend bulk collection ahead of a storm and ask residents to keep material off the curb. Anything already out becomes debris in the wind.
Book cleanup early, not on landfall day
Every hauler in Palm Beach and Broward books solid the week after a storm. Getting on the schedule ahead of the event is the difference between a next-day pickup and a two-week wait.
Know your drop-off options
The Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County and Broward County Waste & Recycling Services both publish disposal and household hazardous-waste locations. Those are where the material you cannot curb has to go.
