Preliminary Guidance for Tornado Debris Removal
The City of Prospect and Louisville Metro have contracted with Ashbritt, a national disaster recovery and special environmental services contract, for free curbside tornado debris collection from residents in defined impacted areas.
Debris collection will begin on Monday, April 15th to give residents ample time to collect and transport the debris to the curb. All debris must be placed as close to the roadway as possible within the public right-of-way, in a grass area, not on pavement or in the public roadway, and not in or obstructing drainage ways, fire hydrant, or utility asset access. street curb.
Storm debris MUST be separated into the following categories:
- Vegetative debris
- Damaged home contents
- Construction & demolition debris.
For residents who need assistance with vegetative debris removal and chainsaw operations, Team Rubicon, a veteran-led humanitarian organization that serves global communities before, during, and after disasters and crises, will be available to assist.
Team Rubicon responded at the request of Kentucky Emergency Management with a Quick Reaction Force, performing chainsaw operations to clear trees, and fallen debris for the Prospect community – on the ground in less than 24 hours after the storm.
After coordinating with county emergency management in Henry, Oldham, and Jefferson Counties, Team Rubicon is planning a full operation with Greyshirt volunteers arriving today, April 5, and working through April 12.
This curbside pick-up is at no cost to the residents and is for tornado debris only, which includes construction and demolition items, household hazardous waste, electronics, brush, limbs that have fallen from trees or those that present a potential threat to safety.
These instructions are preliminary, however, we wanted to get residents the most up-to-date information before the weekend begins.
