Storm Debris Removal in Pensacola: what to know.
On older streets the debris is usually oak limbs and alley fence panels, and trailers have to work around parked cars and tight driveways. A crew with a dump trailer and a couple of strong backs clears most yards in one trip.
Old East Hill and North Hill homes sit under century-old live oaks, on tight lots with alley access and plenty of wood fencing. After a storm that means limbs on roofs and in yards, and fence lines down along the back alleys.

Can't wait for county pickup? in Pensacola
After a hurricane, county curbside pickup is free but can take weeks or months to reach every street, and it has sorting rules: vegetation separate from construction debris. A private haul-away is the dumpster alternative: one visit, mixed loads, and nothing has to be dragged to the curb first.
Brush pile and limb removal in Pensacola

Storm Debris Removal questions.
Do you cover all of Pensacola?
Yes. We serve all of Pensacola, including East Hill, North Hill, Cordova Park, and the rest of Escambia County.
When will Escambia County pick up storm debris in Pensacola?
Escambia County runs curbside debris pickup after declared storms and posts the schedule and sorting rules on its website (https://myescambia.com). If you can't wait, or the debris isn't at the curb, a private haul is the faster option.
Is private debris removal faster than county pickup?
Usually, yes. County pickup after a big storm is free but can take weeks. A private haul is paid, but it's often the same or next day.
My insurance might cover debris removal. Can you still help?
Yes. Tell us insurance is involved and we'll still connect you with a hauler. WAHOO! takes no fee on any job insurance pays for; that's Florida law and our rule.
Do I need to sort the debris?
No. A private hauler takes mixed loads. County curbside pickup is the one with sorting rules.
How long does county storm debris pickup take?
After a major storm it can take weeks to months to reach every street, depending on how much debris there is. Check your county's website for the current schedule.
What's the difference between debris removal and junk removal?
Debris removal is what the storm left outside: limbs, fence pieces, shingles. Junk removal is stuff from inside the house or garage. Many haulers do both, and one visit can cover both.
