Great job on the video, appreciate all the work being done to keep us informed....however, there is a conflicting message as this is indicated below your video. "For community areas not in Evacuation Level A, all regular garbage, yard waste, and bulk collections are suspended through Wednesday, Oct. 9. Do not put out any materials for curbside collection." Which is accurate?

[@SRQCountyGov]

Hello, if you reside outside of Level A, your regular garbage, yard waste, and bulk collection is suspended through Wednesday, Oct. 9. Sarasota County crews are focusing all efforts on removing Hurricane Helene debris and curbside materials from our community areas in Level A.
