ALDOT crews to pick up last of Hurricane Isaias debris in Monroe, Wilcox counties

Crews from the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) contractor DRC Emergency Services LLC will begin their final pickup of debris from Hurricane Isaias in Monroe and Wilcox counties on Nov. 16.

Residents are advised to prepare debris with the following guidelines: 

• Vegetative debris: Trees, tree stumps, branches, trunks and other yard debris.
• Construction and demolition debris: Damaged building materials, including lumber, drywall, glass, metal, roofing, tile and damaged furnishings.
• In the event white goods such as freezers, ovens or refrigerators were damaged as a result of Hurricane Isaias, those items should be placed curbside in seperate piles as well.
