RICHLAND COUNTY, S.C. — Richland County wants to remind residents of the approaching deadline for storm debris removal from Hurricane Helene is Friday, November 22, 2024.
So far, the County's Department of Public Works (DPW) and crews contracted to work with Richland County have removed 1,282,000 pounds (641 tons) of storm debris.
If you have weather-related debris that needs to be collected, you can call the Richland County Ombudsman's Office at 803-929-6000 or email ombudsman@richlandcountysc.gov and give the location and description of the materials needing collection.
DPW has certain guidelines it wants residents to abide by for curbside collection of yard waste. The guidelines include:
- Organic materials only
- No dirt, sand, mulch or rock
- No tree limbs longer than 4 feet and no larger than 4 inches in diameter
- Quantities of waste no more than the equivalent of two 96-gallon roll carts or six yard waste bags each week
