🌳 STORM DEBRIS CLEANUP & FINAL PASS UPDATE
The City of Hobart is beginning the final pass for storm debris pickup throughout the City.
We want to make sure residents have plenty of notice and one last opportunity to get any remaining storm debris to the curb. At this stage of the cleanup, the City must establish a firm cutoff so crews can systematically complete each area and bring storm debris operations to a close.
Beginning Tuesday, crews will be working throughout the City in the 13 zones shown on the map. Initial truck assignments are:
Zones 1–6: 1 truck in each zone
Zone 7: 2 trucks
Zones 8, 9 & 10: No trucks initially; crews will move into these zones as other areas are completed
Zone 11: 2 trucks
Zone 12: City of Hobart crews
Zone 13: 2 trucks
Crews and equipment will move between zones as areas are completed, so these assignments will change as the final pass progresses. We anticipate the entire final pass will take approximately 2–3 weeks to complete citywide.
📢 THIS IS YOUR LAST PICKUP OPPORTUNITY
If you still have storm debris, please get it to the curb as soon as possible.
Seeing a truck come down your street does not necessarily mean your street is finished. If a truck passes your debris pile without collecting it, please do not assume you were missed. Crews may need to return with different equipment, or the City’s Public Works Department may need to collect debris that larger contractor trucks cannot safely access because of obstacles or site conditions.
Our debris monitoring team will conduct a final sweep of each area before it is officially declared complete. Once an area has been inspected and declared complete following the final pass, crews will not return for additional storm debris placed at the curb.
đź“Ť Please make sure your debris is placed in the public easement:
-If you have a sidewalk, place debris between the road and the sidewalk.
-If there is no sidewalk, the public easement generally extends to the utility poles, fence line, or power lines.
-If none of those markers are present, use approximately 30 feet from the center of the road as a guide.
-Contracted crews can only collect debris located within the public easement. They cannot enter yards or other areas of private property to retrieve debris.
đźš« Please keep debris out of the roadway and do not block sidewalks, fire hydrants, mailboxes, storm drains, utility equipment, or other areas that could prevent crews from safely accessing the pile.
We know this has been a long cleanup process, and we greatly appreciate the patience and cooperation of our residents. Our goal with this final pass is to make sure every area is checked before storm debris operations officially come to an end.
Please share this information with your neighbors so everyone has an opportunity to get any remaining storm debris out for collection. 🌳
