Debris removal guide for Black Mountain
Debris removal throughout the Town of Black Mountain has begun!
AshBritt, a contractor for the Army Corps of Engineers, is leading the debris removal effort. The first phase is limited to removing debris from the right-of-ways (curbside).
Here’s what to know:
Multiple passes will occur over next few weeks.
If you have storm debris, please bring these to the right-of-ways (curbside) by your road or street and separate as best as you can into the following:
Vegetative debris such as tree branches, logs, shrubs.
Home debris from the storm (inside or outside) such as drywall, lumber, furniture, carpet.
Appliances damaged or flooded during the storm such as refrigerator, washer/dryer, stove. Secure doors on these appliances.
If you have cut up logs or trees to keep for firewood, please do not stack these near the debris piles, so they aren’t accidentally picked up.
Please refer to the illustrations below.
Important! Do not place debris under power lines or any downed lines. Avoid placing debris near utility boxes, fire hydrants or meter boxes to prevent damage during the pick-up process.
