Nelson’s appeal of the Ware County Superior Court ruling in the lawsuit brought by Henry Strickland challenging the results of the November 2023 election in which Nelson defeated Strickland is pending before the high court.
Also Monday, the Ware County Commission announced it had contracted with CrowderGulf Disaster Recovery & Debris Management to begin collection and disposal of storm debris. The action comes after the Federal Emergency Management Association (FEMA) had issued a federal disaster declaration for Ware County to assist with Hurricane Helene recovery efforts.
County Manager Scott Moye said collection of debris should begin within the next week. The pickup involves only vegetative debris.
It should be placed within the public right of way of the county road (edge of road) in an open area away from trees, fire hydrants, power lines, phone pedestals, natural gas lines, and other utility structures. No collection will occur on private property or state-owned rights of way.
To request a debris collection, call (912) 590-1218. You may also visit www.warecountyga.gov/debris to request debris pickup.
The Public Works Department for Waycross already has been collecting debris in the city. Last year when the remnants of Hurricane Idalia passed through, the city also contracted CrowderGulf for its service after the FEMA declaration.
