Private/Gated Communities: Emergency Debris Removal

The City will coordinate when possible with private/gated communities, but remember that debris removal from private/gated property is the responsibility of the property owner. Here are the options for private/gated communities in Apopka:

• Option 1: Residents may set out vegetative debris according to the regular yard waste program however this collection will be delayed until city-maintained rights-of-ways are cleared.  An HOA representative can contact Josh Robinson at 407-703-1731 for any further questions.
• Option 2: The HOA/Management Company may opt to have the debris placed on public right of way outside the private/gated community property line. The private/gated community will then contract with a private contractor to remove the debris from the private/gated community to the designated public right of way during the predetermined time period. The City debris removal contractor will be responsible for coordinating the debris removal from the public right of way during the specified time period to ensure the area remains clear for the safety of all citizens.
  
• Option 3: In the event public right of way is not available outside the gates of the private/gated community, residents or their private contractor may bring their debris to the designated citizen drop off location at Gate 5 on Appy Lane.
