Glynn County officials provided a crucial update on debris pickup efforts following recent storms during the County Commission meeting on November 7, 2024. Public Works Director Danny Smith reported that the contractor, Series, has already collected approximately 45,000 cubic yards of debris, with expectations to reach around 55,000 cubic yards by the project's completion.

Commissioner Fendig emphasized the community's concerns, stating, "I have been pounded with calls about when is somebody coming by to get my stuff." Smith reassured residents that the contractor is working diligently, operating seven days a week with ten trucks across the county. The first pass of debris collection is expected to wrap up in the next week or two, with a second pass anticipated to be completed by early December.

Commissioners acknowledged the challenges faced by neighboring counties, where debris collection could take significantly longer. "We are fortunate here in Glynn County," one commissioner noted, highlighting the absence of severe losses compared to other areas affected by the storms. The officials urged residents to remain patient as the cleanup continues, recognizing the limited resources available statewide for such extensive recovery efforts.

The meeting also included a motion to enter an executive session to discuss potential litigation and property matters, which was unanimously approved by the commissioners. As the community awaits the completion of debris removal, officials remain committed to keeping residents informed and addressing their concerns.
