Tampa reaches hurricane cleanup milestones

Crews in Tampa have cleared enough storm debris to fill the city's Rivergate Tower, often called the ‘Beer Can Building’, three times since Hurricane Helene. City officials say crews have collected more than one million cubic yards of debris, also the equivalent of filling 300 Olympic-sized pools. There are about 700,000 cubic yards of curbside debris left. About 250 collection trucks and crews work 12-hour shifts, seven days a week, to pick up the debris as soon as possible. The city also hired three contractors and more than 300 subcontractors to help get to the finish line before FEMA’s 90-day deadline.
