Department heads in charge of storm debris removal for Bulloch County and the city of Statesboro say residents have until Nov. 30 to place debris such as limbs and sawed-up trees at the curb or in county road rights of way for collection. Actually picking up all the debris from Hurricane Matthew, which blasted the area Oct. 7-8, will probably take until mid-December, said Bulloch County Transportation Director Dink Butler. Both the city and county have been collecting debris, with the city's work being an extension of its regular curbside yard waste service.
