Miami-Dade County Nears End of Irma Debris Cleanup
The process has cost about $130 million.
1 Min Read
Just more than a month after Hurricane Irma ripped through the state of Florida, Miami-Dade County is nearing the end of clearing the 3 million cubic yards of debris generated by the storm.
County officials estimated that they have cleared 2.6 million of the 3 million tons.

"The process does take time, we always ask people to be patient, we really do encourage their patience and appreciate their patience," Love said.
Communities with private roads must execute a Right of Entry agreement that will allow Miami-Dade County or its contractors to enter communities with private roads and begin debris removal.
This process costs about $130 million, but they will eventually be reimbursed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
In the next two or three weeks, the county says they will begin a second pass back through the entire county to collect whatever is left over.
