City officials in Rehoboth Beach are advising residents that cleanup operations following recent storm damage will require several weeks to finish completely.
Municipal work crews have deployed collection trucks today to gather storm debris while also handling regular trash collection duties, according to city officials who are asking for public patience during the process.
The Streets Department has established specific guidelines for debris removal that residents must follow. All large pieces of fallen trees and branches must be cut down to sections measuring 4 feet or smaller, or they will be left behind during collection runs.
City workers will not enter private properties to remove debris, making property owners responsible for clearing their own land. However, municipal crews may remove debris that blocks public roads or right-of-way areas.
Residents seeking an alternative disposal method can bring their storm debris directly to the recycling center located at 37540 Oyster House Road. The facility operates from 9 am to 1 pm on Mondays, Fridays, and Saturdays.
Officials emphasized that the cleanup process will require several weeks to complete due to the extensive amount of fallen trees, limbs and branches left behind by the storm.
