Helpful Hurricane Helene Resources

As our neighborhood and community are recovering from the recent impacts of Hurricane Helene, HKA have received several helpful resources from our fellow neighbors. We wanted to find a place that we could centrally locate these great resources so that our neighbors can easily reference them.

Henderson County Debris Pickup

As you may see around the neighborhood, debris clean up by the County has begun in Haywood Knolls. Henderson County started last Wednesday and has contracted with numerous companies to get this hard work done. They will be making more than one pass so you can continue to put out debris.

Several street signs have been damaged or missing. I have reported them to the DOT to replace as soon as possible. If your street has a missing or damaged sign, please contact president@haywoodknolls.org.

Please be sure to put all of your tree, brush and house debris on the easement area in front of your home. They will not pick up or cut trees/debris that is not on the street edge.

They WILL NOT pick up “bagged debris or leaves” so if you have bagged debris you will need to make your own arrangements with a trash pick up company.
