Based on information gathered by Channel 4's news staff, here is the latest information from Duval County:Residential garbage collection resumed Saturday morning, picking up their Thursday routes. Crews will pickup Friday's routes on Monday. Regular trash collection, including recycling and bagged yard waste (non-storm-related grass clippings, etc.), will resume normally scheduled operations on Monday. Storm debris collection will begin on Tuesday. Residents are encouraged to begin setting debris out by the curb over the weekend and Monday in preparation for debris pickup. City officials ask residents of Duval County to assist with damage assessment from Tropical Storm Fay by reporting property damage. Residents are asked to call 904-630-CITY (2489) to report flood, wind or debris-related damage to their homes, businesses and vehicles. A full assessment of storm damage is important to recovery efforts, as federal and state recovery agencies require accurate and complete information before any funding or assistance could be provided. Volunteers will be available to provide family services at 751 Riverside Ave. from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday and Tuesday for those with disaster-caused needs who lack sufficient resources to recover. For those whose homes have received significant damage from Tropical Storm Fay, please call (904) 358-8091 to report damage and to make an appointment. Be prepared to give your name, address and emergency needs when you call. All roads and bridges have reopened. At 9 a.m. Monday, just over 5,000 homes and businesses were still without electricity. JEA updates the number and locations of outages on its Web site. Residents still without power were asked to call 904-665-6000.
