Storm debris removal schedule to be announced

Removal of storm debris from the unincorporated areas of Dare County will begin as soon as possible and the schedule will be announced as soon as established.

To expedite the process, Dare County Public Works requests that residents and businesses properly separate debris into piles as follows:

Yard debris

Building debris, flooded building contents

Metal and flooded appliances

Debris should be placed at curbside, away from fire hydrants, trees, power lines, mailboxes and valves or other items that could be damaged or restrict collection.
