Helene Debris Cleanup in Haywood County Information Oct 14, 2024

Helene -- October 14, 2024: Press Release Haywood County Government: Helene debris clean-up efforts in Haywood

County will begin as early as Monday, October 14, 2024.  

Please follow the guidelines below for proper placement: 

Place all debris on the right of way along the road. 
Keep debris clear of fire hydrants, fences, mailboxes, and other obstacles to ensure safe and efficient removal. 
 
This will be the first pass of debris removal, and crews will make additional passes at a later time. To help us keep the process moving efficiently, please ensure your debris is out and ready. 

Please note that while the towns are managing their own cleanup contracts, we are all using the same contractor so clean-up will begin county-wide. Check with your town officials for specific schedules and any additional guidelines specific to your area if you are in town limits. 

For FEMA documentation purposes, it is critical to document your debris before it is removed. Take photos and keep detailed records of the damage and debris on your property. 

Thank you for your cooperation!
