Garbage services still scheduled for Monday in Fort Walton Beach & Destin

Trash pickup is still happening...for now.

Jared Williams

Garbage service for Monday in Fort Walton Beach is scheduled to operate normally as long as winds remain below 35 mph.

The City asks that you DO NOT cut limbs or stack debris by the road at this time as it could cause hazards and clog storm drains.

Out in Destin, Waste Management is currently planning on running their normal routes Monday and Tuesday.

Of course this could all change as Tropical Storm Fred continues to make landfall.
