ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – Orange County residents can now track storm debris removal with a new interactive map.
Orange County Public Works launched the map to help residents track the clean-up efforts and answer any questions regarding the debris from Hurricane Milton.
The county has two debris removal contractors who are working to pick up debris in neighborhoods across Florida. Debris removal trucks have made it to about a third of the county at this point.
“The contractors send to us that information for their next day plan and we’re able to put that into the interactive map,” said Ralphetta Aker McClary, a manager for Orange County Public Works.
The map shows where debris removal contractors are located and the status of clean-up in various areas in Orange County.
“If you look at that interactive map, you’ll see we have the county divided into excess of 40 sectors and those 40 sectors have to be accessed and once they’re accessed, we have to determine the type of equipment that has to be placed into those locations,” McClary said.
You can use the map to zoom into your street or enter your address to see the status of debris removal in your area.

The tracking tool comes three weeks after Hurricane Milton made landfall and swept through Central Florida. McClary said it could take until January to completely finish clean up.
“We are pushing to be done ahead of that deadline and to have the county substantially cleaned as we move into the holiday season,” McClary said.
