While Debby has left our area, hurricane season isn’t over yet. The season runs through November 30. Berkeley County recommends the public not discard of any sandbags that did not come into contact with floodwaters. Such sandbags can be reused if safely stored in a dry location. If you need to discard of any sandbags, please consider recycling them and disposing of them properly.
