Anderson County Sets December 16 Deadline for Hurricane Helene Debris Placement

Anderson County residents must place Hurricane Helene storm debris safely in the road right-of-way by December 16, 2024. Contractors aim to collect debris in most areas by year-end, with continued pickups in heavily impacted regions into early 2025, weather permitting. Deputy Secretary for Engineering Rob Perry emphasized the scale of this cleanup effort, noting ongoing work in the hardest-hit areas. Residents struggling to move debris can contact SCDOT at 855-467-2368. Since October, crews have cleared nearly 1.8 million cubic yards of debris statewide. Motorists are urged to slow down near work zones.
