Just a friendly reminder with these insanely cold temperatures….drip your faucets and cover your spigots. Busted water lines cause significant damage to homes and belongings. Stay safe everyone!

Great resource! Big thanks to our County!

*Updated Post on October 3*

There have been numerous questions related to the free pickup of storm debris in Henderson County. We want to clarify and provide more information on this important topic.

Henderson County will provide free curbside storm debris to 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.

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. The graphic below shows how to properly separate trash to expedite the debris removal process.

There is no need to take storm debris to the Transfer Station. The best way to remove debris is to place it on your curb.

We'd like to take a moment and thank the men and women battling the wildfires in our area and nation wide. You all, as well as the citizens who have lost property, will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers! As we continue through a very dry period, please take precaution and clean leaf litter and undergrowth away from your home. This will help firefighting efforts tremendously should one of these fires make it to your property. Also as a reminder, we currently have a burn ban in effect. No open burning of any kind. Please refer to the NC Forest Service web page if you have questions or need any clarification of the ban.
