Branches, dead trees and piles of debris still litter Evergreen Avenue in Central Islip, more than six weeks after Tropical Storm Isaias swept through Long Island.

Residents say the Town of Islip came once to pick up debris, but many say they weren't given notice ahead of time.

"You never even informed us when you were coming through so we could prepare all the trees and debris ready for you to pick up," says one resident.

Now residents say these huge piles are not only an eyesore, they're dangerous too.

"It's causing rats and you come home and the lights are off and there's raccoons coming out of the piles. It's hard. We have children here," says a neighborhood resident.

A spokeswoman for the Town of Islip says pickups were made on three occasions right after the storm, and that the DEC is still making collections twice weekly.

Two weeks ago, News 12 reported on a similar story from the Town of Brookhaven. Town Highway Superintendent Daniel Losquardo said then that town employees have been working up to 14-hour days since the storm, plus they've hired contractors.

"At this point we're probably only about halfway through all of our roadways," said Losquardo two weeks ago. "You have to remember the Town of Brookhaven is geographically larger than Nassau County and we're making good progress. But I would say we have at least another two weeks of that work ahead of us."
