After a meeting with the debris collection company on March 3, 2025, the deadline for residents of Coffee County, as well as the cities of Douglas, Broxton, Ambrose, and Nicholls, to place all debris from Hurricane Helene at the roadside will be March 17, 2025. Anything placed by the roadside after March 17 may not be picked up as debris collection trucks will be making final passes between March 18 and March 23, 2025.

“Due to the overall volume of debris, it is likely that some items will remain to be picked up after March 23.  We are committed to making sure everything placed on the city/county right of way by March 17 will be picked up. After that date, the property owner may be responsible for disposal of the items.” says Wesley Vickers, County Administrator. 

On February 28, 2025, the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) completed debris pick-up operations along state rights-of-way. It is the understanding of county and city officials that GDOT will not pick up items on state routes going forward. Therefore, residents are urged not to place any more debris on state rights-of-way.

As previously released, the county and cities are divided into zones, with 1-3 trucks per zone. Citizens and volunteers can assist with this process by ensuring that the debris piles placed next to the road are free from contamination and do not contain other types of trash. If the debris is not properly sorted, it slows the collection process, and the debris pile will not be picked up. Debris should be sorted into 6 piles as follows:

  • Tree Trunks (log part of trees)
  • Tree Stumps (root balls)
  • Limbs and other Vegetative Debris
  • Construction and Demolition Debris (boards, vinyl, roofing and etc.)
  • White Goods (washers, dryers, refrigerators, freezers and etc.)
  • Brown Goods (sofas, furniture)

If you need more information about debris pickup within the city limits of Douglas, please call Public Works at (912) 389-3450. For normal leaf and limb customers in the city limits of Douglas, please call (912) 384-3302, press 3, and speak to a Customer Service Specialist.
