The Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) announces that contractor Crowder Gulf will begin the final pass of Hurricane Isaias storm debris collection in Escambia and Conecuh counties on Monday, Nov. 30, 2026.
ALDOT is working with local cities and county governments to collect eligible storm debris. The cleanup follows the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) reimbursement process for eligible debris removal costs.
Residents, homeowners, and businesses should follow these guidelines to ensure crews can collect debris.
Where to place debris
- Place debris curbside without blocking the roadway or storm drains.
- If your property has a sidewalk, place debris on the curbside of the sidewalk. Collection crews will not collect debris placed between the sidewalk and the home or building.
- If there is no sidewalk, ditch or utility line in front of your property, place debris at the edge of your property before the curb.
- Do not stack or lean debris against trees, utility poles, fire hydrants, meters or other structures.
What types of debris will crews collect?
Vegetative debris
- Leaves (do not place in bags)
- Logs
- Plants
- Tree branches
Construction and demolition debris
- Fencing
- Siding
- Concrete blocks
- Lumber
- Exterior building components
What will not be collected?
- Household trash or garbage.
- Debris placed outside the designated collection area.
ALDOT contractors will collect debris along state-maintained roads. Local cities and counties will coordinate collection along roads they maintain.
Contractors may photograph debris to document that it qualifies for FEMA reimbursement.
Residents should make sure any remaining eligible storm debris is properly placed at the curb before the final collection pass begins.
