Residents who live in Byrnes Mill or in the Romaine Creek and Springdale Park areas along the Hwy. 141 corridor may leave debris damaged by flooding or sewage backups at the curb to be picked up Wednesday.
The curbside pickup is part of the state and federal Operation Recovery program designed to help people affected by the recent historic flooding in the area.
Items that will be picked up include limbs, branches, plants and brush; white goods, like furnaces, air conditioning units, dishwashers, refrigerators, freezers, washers and dryers, and water heaters; electronics such as computers and printers, TVs, phones and microwaves; household hazardous waste, like automotive oil, paint, cleaning supplies, pesticides, batteries, propane tanks and aerosol cans; construction and demolition debris, such as carpet, drywall, lumber, plumbing, doors, windows, furniture, mattresses, clothes, toys and other personal property; and sandbags.
Items that will not be picked up include household trash or anything in bags; cars, boats, ATVS or mobile homes; commercial property; or debris that contractors leave behind.
The items left at the curb must be separated into different piles depending on if they’re vegetative, white goods, electronics, household hazardous waste, construction and demolition debris, or sandbags.
Crews will make more than one pass to pick up items in the various areas.
