Debris cleanup in Lee County from tropical storm Olga starting soon

LEE COUNTY, Miss. (WCBI) – In Lee County, clean up from damage after Tropical Strom Olga is expected to ramp up.

That system produced strong storms in late October.

Lee County leaders have contracted with a waste hauler to remove trees and limbs from the storm.

Supervisors passed a disaster declaration in the wake of those storms.

The county’s road manager said crews are expected to be out collecting the debris after the holidays, beginning Friday.

City leaders are asking county residents with debris on their property to move it to a public road’s right of way so that it can be hauled away.
