Local politicians criticize federal policies that allowed Pajaro levee repairs to lag for years

Residents of Pajaro in Monterey County should see curbside debris removal begin this week and are being advised not to haul flood debris to locations other than their immediate curb.

Waste Management crews will be moving through the area over the next few weeks and will revisit residential streets multiple times. Even if debris piles are large, county officials said in a news release that curbside is the place to leave them and they will be picked up by contracted crews. Hauling debris to other locations can slow the overall process.
