Town of Fort Myers Beach Public Information Officer Nicole Berzin provided an update on debris pickup from Hurricane Milton, which began last week. Some residents have not had their debris picked up from Hurricane Helene with some returning from Hurricane Milton to find porta potty’s on their lawn: “The debris field from Hurricane Helene and Milton was so widespread, stretching from Florida to North Carolina, that resources are stretched thin,” Birzin said. “The Town is working with our contractor, Crowder Gulf, to increase the number of trucks on our Island and hopefully expedite the debris pickup process.”
