Final day for debris pickup in Grovetown is St. Patrick's Day
GROVETOWN, Ga. (WJBF) – It's been almost six months since Hurricane Helene hit the CSRA. Crews have been working around the clock since then to pick up debris, and it's the home stretch for the city of Grovetown. If you drive around roads and streets in Grovetown, you won't find much debris left—part of the reason why is because the deadline for residents is this coming Monday, March 17th. Despite the setbacks, city leaders have been pleased with the progress. 'The debris recovery efforts since Hurricane Helene have been trying. It has been a long and arduous process, but we're pretty happy with how things have turned out,' said PIO Jordan Johnson. Contractors have picked up over 54,000 cubic yards of debris across the city. They will be going around to get remaining debris piles between now and 5 PM Monday to make sure everyone is accounted for. 'We've gone around and checked to see that folks have put their debris roadside, and we've checked to see that if they still need pickup, we're communicating that with our contractors. We'll be doing that again shortly after the deadline on Monday at 5 PM, just to make sure that the folks that have their stuff out by that time will receive the pickup the contractor will be providing,' Johnson said. Michael Krecskay's family lives in the area, and says work crews have been efficient. 'I think so, around this area it looks pretty good—other than obvious huge trees that are laying everywhere, but that's different. The side of the road cleanup looks pretty good, especially compared to where I live out in Richmond County,' said Krecskay. 'We're just encouraging folks to get those debris piles out by the side of the road, that way the contractors can come and get them. Hopefully, like I said, we can move on from this historic storm,' Johnson added. Johnson is also reminding the community to only put vegetative debris on the curb for contractors to pick up. He says if other debris is mixed in, homeowners will have to hire a private sector to get any remaining debris.
