Storm Aftermath Made Simpler: Hurricane Debris Cleanup

Each year, hurricanes leave behind billions of dollars in damage—and a mountain of debris—and communities struggle with hurricane debris cleanup. From snapped trees and twisted metal to flooded drywall and roofing materials, communities in Florida, Texas, and across the Gulf Coast face the same challenge: how to clean up fast, efficiently, and affordably.

With 2025’s hurricane season already producing powerful storms across the Southeast, local governments and contractors are being pushed to the limit. Equipment, manpower, and landfill space are stretched thin—and time is everything.

This is where the Dual Force Screening Bucket becomes a force multiplier in disaster response and cleanup operations.

Debris Piles Are Growing. Budgets Aren’t.

Following recent storms like Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton, Florida’s Department of Environmental Protection reported hundreds of thousands of tons of debris needing disposal. Contractors are directed to separate materials into piles—vegetative, construction, appliances, and household—but in the field, those lines often blur.

Cleanup crews are forced to:

• Haul unprocessed mixed debris
• Pay high tipping fees for contaminated loads
• Waste time sorting by hand

The result? Longer cleanup timelines, higher costs, and overwhelmed landfills.

On‑Site Screening: A Faster, Smarter Solution

The Dual Force Vibratory Screening Bucket turns any skid loader into a mobile debris separator. Instead of dragging every load to a staging area or transfer station, crews can scoop mixed debris—soil, branches, stone, drywall—and screen it on the spot.

The Benefits:

• Separate usable soil or sand from contaminated materials
• Sort mulchable brush from rubble for repurposing
• Reduce truckloads going to the landfill
• Cut tipping fees by removing fines and organics
• Speed up staging, loading, and processing

With dual‑screen capability, contractors can even sort three product sizes at once, enabling true field‑side material control.

Real Recovery = Material Reuse

Let’s say a coastal Florida town is clearing a residential area hit by flooding and wind. The Dual Force can be used to:

• Recover sandy fill material for berms or regrading
• Sort wood debris into a chipper‑ready pile
• Separate metal and masonry for recycling

Rather than sending 100% of the debris to landfill, only the true waste gets hauled away—and the community gets back on its feet faster.

Why Municipalities and Contractors Are Turning to Attachment

Traditional large‑scale grinders and trommels are effective—but they’re expensive, hard to move, and require fuel and trained operators. With the Dual Force Screening Bucket:

• You use equipment already in the fleet
• No external power is needed, just your machine’s hydraulics
• Quick‑connect screens adapt to debris type and site needs
• You reduce touch time, increase efficiency, and work smarter

Ready for the Next Storm (or the Last One)

In disaster‑prone regions like Florida, Texas, and the Gulf Coast, smart cities and rental companies should consider incorporating the Dual Force into disaster readiness plans. Whether used for FEMA recovery zones, temporary staging sites, or public works support, the bucket delivers:

• Carbon‑neutral operation (no engine or fuel needed)
• Compact design for transport and deployment
• The power to keep screening even in chaotic conditions

Get Prepared, Not Just Reactive

The Dual Force Screening Bucket isn’t just a post‑storm tool—it’s a pre‑storm strategy. Local governments, contractors, and emergency responders can equip their teams with a screening solution that reduces costs, cleans faster, and gives control back to the people doing the work.
