HENDERSONVILLE, N.C. (828newsNOW) — Don’t burn that storm debris. Henderson County officials are urging residents to instead wait for the debris to be picked up.
“We understand residents want to clear their properties of debris quickly. However, burning debris is not the safest method under the current conditions. We want to reduce the risk of accidental fires while our emergency responders continue to work,” a news release from the county said.
Henderson County will provide free curbside storm debris pickup for all county residents on NCDOT, municipal and private roads. All storm debris that is pushed to the right of way of a property will be picked up for free.
“We strongly encourage residents to use this free curbside service provided by the county to reduce the risk of accidental fires,” the news release said.
