Hurricane Milton debris still sits on people's curbs in Cape Coral.
The city of Cape Coral began picking up storm debris on Oct. 21, almost two weeks after Hurricane Milton. Yet, piles of branches sit along Mike Shank's curb on Skyline Boulevard and SW 44th Street.
"It looks ugly as trash in Cape Coral," Shank said. "They'll tag you for your grass being grown in a week, but they'll leave that there for a month and a half."
To help people out, he drives his trailer around, picking up debris.
"We've been going around picking up for most people with our dumpster because the city just doesn't come around," Shank said.
A real-time map shows where trucks have been and what neighborhoods they still have to finish. Green are places that are done, blue is in progress and orange is either in progress or schedules.
Shank lives in the green area, but there is still debris.
"They've been around right after the hurricane, but I haven't seen them much since," he said.
The city said just because an area is complete, does not mean all the debris will be removed. That's because vegetation, construction and demolition debris all get picked up at different times.
If your debris did not get picked up the first round, Waste Pro will collect it, as long as it is separated correctly.
The city is hoping to have all storm-related debris removed by Thanksgiving.
