The purpose of this survey is to help Henderson County in assessing debris pick up needs. Please fill out the survey to the best of your ability. If you place more debris for collection after filling out this survey, please fill out the survey again.

**Data collected will be shared with debris pick up contractors as they continue to evaluate debris pick up needs. This survey does not constitute a guaranteed timeline of debris pick up. **

Henderson County will provide free curbside storm debris removal to all county residents. The county is working with a contractor to pick up all storm debris on DOT, municipal and private roads. The county is partnering with the municipalities within the county for this pickup service as well.

Gated communities, whether their gates are open or closed, need to send an email or letter from the community's HOA to Marcus Jones, County Engineer, requesting the County's FEMA Debris Contractor enter the subdivision to remove the debris. This request needs to reflect a consensus of the entire community. Letters can be mailed to Marcus Jones, County Engineer, 1 Historic Courthouse Square, Hendersonville, NC 28792.

Storm debris that is pushed to the right of way of a property will be picked up. Please be patient. Debris will be up picked by us as soon as possible. Residents will need to place all items along the road right of way in order for pickup.

Storm debris includes tree branches, leaves, logs, building materials, furniture, paint, etc. Please separate household garbage, construction debris, vegetative debris, large appliances, electronics and hazardous waste to expedite the removal process. There is no need to take storm debris to the Transfer Station. The best way to remove debris is to place it to the edge of the roadway but not in the roadway or drainage ditch / inlets.
