: Starting on December 12, Henderson County property owners impacted by Hurricane Helene, who do not have debris removal insurance, may apply to have qualified disaster debris removed from their property at no cost through the Private Property Debris Removal (PPDR) Program. The program also covers the demolition of eligible unsafe structures.

Henderson County property owners impacted by Hurricane Helene, have two options for debris removal.

1 - Right of Way (ROW) Debris Pickup

Debris from your property that you can get to the right of way (next to the roadway without obstructing traffic, garbage cans, mailboxes or utility structures) is being picked up in all areas of the county on an ongoing basis. There is no cost for this debris pickup and you do not need to apply. There will be multiple rounds of pickup, so you do not have to have all your debris to the right of way immediately.

2 - Private Property Debris Removal (PPDR) and Demolition

Owners who cannot take their debris to the right of way (ROW) for pickup and who do not have debris removal insurance or have inadequate debris removal insurance, may apply to have qualified disaster debris removed from their property for FREE through the Private Property Debris Removal (PPDR) Program. The program also covers the demolition of eligible unsafe structures.

Here is a link to our website with all additional information needed for residents who want to meet with Debris Tech at the DRC beginning Thursday.
