Sonoma County Storm Update 5: Debris Removal Resources

To assist residents and businesses affected by Russian River flooding, Sonoma County Transportation and Public Works Department in collaboration with Recology will provide two debris removal clean-up events over the next two weekends. In addition, Sonoma County Waste Management Agency will provide the opportunity to dispose of toxic materials at one location on Tuesday, March 12th, from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

“Clearing out flood debris will help residents take the first step to recovery. Bring us your water-damaged debris to avoid issues down the line, like mold,” shared Supervisor Lynda Hopkins. “The collaboration between Recology and the County is an example of a public-private partnership which allows us to provide services to the community that would otherwise be out of reach.”
