County will accept tree branches, other vegetative debris, for free

To help people cleaning up from Hurricane Irene, Brunswick County will begin accepting vegetative debris — which includes tree limbs and branches — for free at its landfill.

The county commissioners decided at their agenda meeting Wednesday to waive all fees effective Friday. The fee waivers will only apply to vegetative debris, not any structural or construction debris.

The fees will be waived through the end of the county’s previously scheduled “Free Dump Week,” which is Sept. 12 to Sept. 17.

The policy applies to individuals as well as towns, some of which are offering curbside pickup to their residents. The cost for dumping yard debris at the landfill is $22.50 per ton.

People who have already taken debris to the landfill will not get refunds under the current policy. About 40 tons of debris was brought to the landfill Monday, according to the county’s operations services department.That’s twice the amount of a typical Monday.
