Aiken County Government Operation Information and Updates
December 18, 2024
Public Service Announcement
The City of North Augusta, the City of Aiken and Aiken County have worked in cooperation in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene to provide for the removal and disposal of storm-related debris.
In an effort to plan for the final steps of this enormous project, a deadline has been established for those that have not gotten their storm-related debris placed on road right of way.
If you have not yet moved your debris to the road right of way, we are asking that this be completed no later than Sunday, January 5, 2025.
While our collection efforts will certainly continue after January 5 for perhaps a month or more, a deadline will greatly aid in the efficiency of this project.
Please note that this schedule is dependent on several factors, including weather conditions and the availability of subcontractors to do the collection. Also note that roads owned by the State of South Carolina have their own deadline and their debris collection is operated independently from the local government efforts.
