In the aftermath of Hurricane Florence, Horry County Government is entering the final stage of debris removal operations in flood-damaged areas of the county. The County’s contracted crews have completed several passes through communities where property owners have placed their flood-damaged debris within the public right-of-way, and they are now set to begin their final pass to clean up any remaining debris in these same communities.
The County established a final debris set-out date of Monday, November 26th, 2018. Residents that live on a county-maintained road and still have flood-damaged debris need to bring it to the county’s right-of-way today. Any debris that is placed in the right-of-way in front of residents’ homes after today may not be picked up by the county’s contractors because they will be making a single “final pass” through all flood-damaged communities.
As a reminder, Horry County is only picking up flood-damaged debris along county roads in the unincorporated areas of the county that have been impacted by flooding. Horry County is not collecting regular household trash or vegetative debris (tree branches, brush, etc) as part of this effort even if it is placed in the county right-of-way prior to 11/26.
Likewise, any debris that is placed outside the county’s right-of-way will not be collected during the contractor’s final pass. The public right-of-way is the area of residential property that extends from the street to the sidewalk, ditch, utility pole or easement, approximately 10’ to 12’ from the edge of the pavement. A map of the impacted areas that are being serviced during the final pass for debris pick up, searchable by address, is located at horrycounty.org.
The Horry County debris hotline remains open for residents in the unincorporated areas impacted by this event. Residents with questions about debris pickup can call 843-915-7777. The debris hotline will remain open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. until debris removal operations are complete.
The County’s curbside debris program will only remove flood-damaged construction and demolition debris, flood damaged appliances and white goods, flood damaged electronics, and household hazardous waste. Regular household trash and vegetative debris will not be collected.
