County crews begin the first of two storm debris pickups on Wednesday, Oct. 14, for residents outside city limits. Put debris at the curb loose and unbagged, and keep it clear of hydrants, mailboxes and meters.
Okaloosa County will begin collecting Hurricane Isaias debris on Wednesday, Oct. 14, for residents in unincorporated parts of the county. Collection will happen in two passes. The county will announce the date of the second pass after the first one is finished.
If you live inside a city or town, this pickup does not cover you. Contact your city or town for its debris plan. Fort Walton Beach has already announced its own collection.
