City of Sebastian 2017 Catastrophic Storm Operations Plan
Purpose:
In the event a catastrophic natural disaster affects the City of Sebastian, this plan shall provide
for service beyond the current contractual curbside service, to include the following:
Curbside service for current MSW subscribers for the City of Sebastian, or service for all
residents of the City of Sebastian, regardless of subscription status
Additional solid waste volume beyond every day collection of items.
2017 Assumptions:
10,890 single family homes in Sebastian city limits
Approximately 7,949 curbside single family subscribers in Sebastian in 2017
o Single family subscribers have both an MSW and single stream recycling cart
Approximately 2,941 single family homes have only a single stream recycling cart in
Sebastian
o Approximately 10% of the no-service homes are seasonal residents and are
generally vacant during summer months
Operational Assumptions:
Indian River County will suspend curbside single stream recycling and curbside yard
waste collection service for +/- 2-5 weeks, varying depending on storm/damage severity.
o Note: Single stream curbside recycling service will be suspended throughout
entire County, to include municipalities where WM currently collects single
stream recyclables curbside.
Indian River County will permit residents to use single stream recycling carts to dispose
of MSW during period of curbside recycling collection suspension. All MSW for
collection must be containerized inside the cart(s).
Indian River County will set up a landfill temporary “fast lane” for WM trucks to quickly
dump load and return to service area.
