🚛 Flood Debris Pickup Information 🚛

The City of Burkesville is coordinating flood debris pickup for residents within the city limits.

If you will have flood debris for pickup, please call Burkesville City Hall at 270-864-5391 and leave your:

* Name
* Phone Number
* Address

We are creating a list of properties with flood debris to help make the pickup process as efficient as possible. The same debris removal contractor will be serving communities throughout the county, and we want to help streamline their work within the city.

If you are unable to have your debris ready for the initial pickup, there will be another opportunity for collection.

At this time, please separate your flood debris into the four categories shown on the attached FEMA Debris Separation flyer and keep it on your property until a pickup date is announced. If you would like a printed copy, contact City Hall and we will be happy to provide one.

Once a pickup date has been set, residents should move their debris to the public right-of-way for collection. The debris removal contractor cannot enter private property and will only collect debris placed within the public right-of-way.

‼️Please remember‼️

* Only debris resulting from the recent flooding will be eligible for pickup.
* An outside agency will monitor the debris removal process and determine what debris qualifies for collection.
* Do not place debris in the roadway. If you live on a narrow city street, please leave enough room for vehicles to safely pass.

Any debris that does not qualify for pickup, or any debris left after the contractor has completed collection, will be the responsibility of the homeowner to remove.

We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we continue working together through the flood recovery process.

As we celebrate 250 years of America, we pause to thank the men and women who have defended our freedom and those who continue to wear our nation’s uniform. Their sacrifice has preserved the liberties we enjoy and made this great nation possible.

We are also grateful for the city and county crews who faithfully respond to the needs and concerns of their community, as well as the first responders, utility workers, volunteers, churches, businesses, and neighbors who never hesitate to lend a helping hand. Whether serving at home or coming from neighboring communities to assist, your dedication, compassion, and selfless service help make Burkesville and Cumberland County a place we’re proud to call home.

Happy Fourth of July from the City of Burkesville as we celebrate America’s 250th Anniversary. God bless our community, and God bless the United States of America.

Thank you to Tri-County Electric for donating their time, equipment, and hard work to hang our Veteran Banners.

Each banner tells a story of courage, sacrifice, and love of country. It is a small way for us to honor the men and women who served our nation and to remind future generations of the freedoms their service has protected.

As our community continues recovering from the recent flooding, we will postpone our Veteran Banner Dedication Ceremony for a few weeks. When the time is right, we look forward to coming together to honor our veterans and the families who have sacrificed alongside them.

To our veterans, thank you for your service. And to Tri-County Electric, thank you for helping us ensure that service is recognized and never forgotten.

It has been a long few days since the devastating flooding that began Saturday night into Sunday morning, but I wanted to take a moment to provide a quick update on where we are in the recovery process.

First and foremost, thank you to everyone who has stepped up to help our community. From local volunteers and first responders to city employees, county crews, county officials, utility crews, state partners, businesses, and neighbors helping neighbors. We are truly grateful for every helping hand.

We are currently wrapping up damage assessments for homes and businesses. Today, we also began assessing and documenting damage to roads, easements, drainage infrastructure, and debris accumulations along our waterways inside the city. This information will be submitted to Kentucky Emergency Management for consideration of recovery funding.

We know there are areas that need attention as soon as possible, and we share that sense of urgency. As we complete the required assessments and documentation, we will begin prioritizing repairs and addressing the most critical needs. While it may seem like a slow process at times, it is important that we follow all required guidelines to ensure our community has every opportunity to receive available recovery assistance.

Recovery will not happen overnight, but thanks to the many resources available to us and the teamwork we have witnessed throughout this disaster, we have already made tremendous progress. That progress is a direct reflection of the strength, compassion, and resilience of our community.

If you are aware of a damaged drain tile, debris issue, or pavement damage on a city street, please contact City Hall at 270-864-5391. If we have not already assessed and documented the issue, we will have that done as quickly as possible.

Thank you again for your patience, your support, and for continuing to stand together as we move forward in the recovery process.

Over the past three years, I’ve said time and time again that we have the best community, and this week has only reinforced that belief.

This year alone, our community has faced two major weather emergencies. During Winter Storm Fern, we had time to prepare, make plans, and respond accordingly. This flash flood was different. It developed quickly, with little warning, yet once again our community rose to the occasion.

Neighbors helped neighbors. First responders answered every call. Utility crews, road crews, emergency personnel, volunteers, businesses, churches, and countless individuals stepped in wherever they were needed. People opened their doors, shared resources, checked on one another, and worked tirelessly under incredibly difficult conditions. That willingness to serve is what makes this community so special.

On behalf of the City of Burkesville, I want to sincerely thank everyone who has worked through these challenging conditions and everyone who has offered assistance in any way. Your dedication, compassion, and selfless service have made a tremendous difference. We are also grateful to the many agencies and responders from outside our county who came to assist during this emergency. Your support and partnership have been invaluable.

Things could have been so much worse, but once again the heart of Cumberland County overcame every obstacle placed before it. We continue to prove that when challenges arise, we face them together.

Please continue to use caution as cleanup efforts continue. For the latest information regarding road closures, detours, and emergency updates, please follow updates from Judge Luke King and Cumberland County Emergency Management.

Thank you all. Please continue to keep those affected in your thoughts and prayers, and stay safe.

With everything going on we have decided to postpone the dedication. We will find a date and time in the future to have a dedication ceremony.

We will make every effort to have them displayed before the Fourth of July!
