Kerr County beginning debris removal this week

Kerr County says it is working with the state to start debris removal this week following the July 4 floods.  To make things easier for workers, everything should be separated into piles.

Electronics, large appliances, hazardous waste, trees, and construction material need to be in separate piles.  They ask you to leave piles in the right of way for pickup and not to block the road.

For large items like vehicles that washed up on your properties, you can wait for regular debris removal, but you have to grant collectors right of way entry to haul the vehicles away.  If you live in a private gated community, FEMA won’t be able to provide support.

Commercial property owners are encouraged to call their insurance companies.

For anyone who wants to burn debris like trees, logs, branches, etc., Kerr County will announce a plan on how to properly do it later this week.
