March 1: Deadline for Public Right-of-Way Storm Debris Removal
If you still have storm debris on your property after Helene, now is the time to move it to the public right-of-way to ensure crews can remove it. Crews will make final passes starting on March 1, 2025, and getting your debris out by this date guarantees it will be picked up.
If you miss this deadline or need help with removing debris, free debris removal is available through the Private Property Debris Removal Program. Call McDowell County's Helene Hotline at 828-652-3241.
