When hiring tree trimmers or landscapers to dispose of storm debris, residents must keep a few things in mind.

They must print out a storm debris self-haul form or a demolition and construction self-haul form from the Hillsborough County website.

Residents must fill that form out and sign it for the contractor to present it at any county drop-off location to prove they are authorized to dispose of the debris on behalf of the resident.

Contractor self-haul forms will be accepted at the temporary debris sites until Dec. 21.
