Declaration of Local Disaster

I will be signing the paperwork this afternoon for a Declaration of Local Disaster due to the flooding. This will improve our chances for monetary assistance in clean up and future mitigation efforts. Story County as a whole is also a disaster area, so we can work with the county in all of this as well.

If you have damaged carpet, or other non-typical garbage items that you are disposing of, you must contact our garbage provider, Stone Sanitation at 641-366-2310 to determine additional charges for garbage pickup.

If it isn't items with hazardous issues like TVs, it really shouldn't be too much. Stone is really good to work with. You will have to talk with them, but I'm speculating in most cases it might be around $20 or less. (based on when I threw some stuff out awhile back that was not flood related). TVs and things like that may have an additional per piece charge. But again, call them to find out.

Here are some photos I swiped from some Facebook friends showing some of the flooded streets. (Bryan and Britson respectively)
