Sand Available & Sandbag Disposal After each storm, residents can access the leftover sand in the town hall parking lot for their Redington Shores property. Please remember to bring your own bags and a shovel. For the next major storm , the Clerk’s office will ensure a new supply of sand is ordered, and Public Works will set up a sandbag station, allowing each resident to fill up to 10 bags which will be provided amid the storm . The Town will send notifications through our RShores App when these supplies become available before a major stor m. Many residents often ask, "What should I do with these sandbags after a storm?" Pinellas County Government has the answers to help guide you!
For sandbags that did NOT come into contact with floodwaters: • Keep and store clean sandbags to reuse them for future storms. It’s best to store sandbags in a cool, dry area indoors or under cover.
• To dispose of clean sandbags, spread the sand on lawns or landscape beds. Place the empty bags in your garbage bin (not your recycling bin). • Do not dump sandbags onto the beach. Sand used to help stop flooding may be different from beach sand and can cause issues for turtle nesting, among other problems.
