Debris Removal
Storm Debris Cleanup
Henderson County property owners (unincorporated areas and cities) impacted by Hurricane Helene, have two options for debris removal.
1 - Right of Way (ROW) Debris Pickup
Debris from your property that you can get to the right of way (next to the roadway without obstructing traffic, garbage cans, mailboxes or utility structures) is being picked up in all areas of the county on an ongoing basis. There is no cost for this debris pickup and you do not need to apply. There will be multiple rounds of pickup, so you do not have to have all your debris to the right of way immediately.
2 - Private Property Debris Removal (PPDR) and Demolition
Owners who cannot take their debris to the right of way (ROW) for pickup and who do not have debris removal insurance or have inadequate debris removal insurance, may apply to have qualified disaster debris removed from their property for FREE through the Private Property Debris Removal (PPDR) Program. The program also covers the demolition of eligible unsafe structures.
Have storm debris from Hurricane Helene ready for free curbside pickup? You can now report it through this online form. This online form allows residents to describe the type of storm debris and submit photos, which will help plan cleanup efforts.
**Data collected will be shared with debris pickup contractors as they continue to evaluate debris pickup needs. This survey does not constitute a guaranteed timeline of debris pickup.
