Dothan and the Wiregrass region are close enough to the Gulf Coast to feel the effects of tropical storms and hurricanes - from tropical storm-force winds that scatter yard debris to full hurricane impacts that can leave significant damage. Dothan Junk Removal Co. helps Dothan-area homeowners both before a storm (removing debris that could become projectiles) and after (clearing storm damage from your property).
Pre-Storm Cleanup - Why Outdoor Clutter Is Dangerous
A 70 mph wind event turns outdoor clutter into flying missiles. Items that seem harmless in calm conditions become serious threats during a storm:
- Old patio furniture - lightweight plastic chairs can become projectiles
- Trampolines - one of the most dangerous storm projectiles; they can travel blocks
- Loose lumber and boards - stored in yards or garages with open doors
- Old swing sets - unstable sets can collapse and spread metal debris
- Yard debris piles - brush and branches left from prior storms or tree work
- Garbage and recycling bins - become airborne without weights
Before a storm, the safest option for items you can't bring inside is to have them removed entirely. We provide pre-storm junk removal with priority scheduling when a storm is approaching.
After Hurricane Sally (2020) and multiple tropical systems, the Dothan area saw widespread yard and property damage - much of it from neighbor-to-neighbor debris travel. Removing outdoor junk before the storm protects not just your property but your neighbors' too.
Items to Remove Before a Storm
- Trampolines - these are the #1 priority
- Old patio furniture and umbrellas
- Loose lumber, pallets, fencing materials
- Above-ground pools (if not bringing inside)
- Swing sets and playsets in poor condition
- Yard decor, bird baths, garden statues
- Debris piles left from previous storms or tree trimming
Post-Storm Junk Removal
After a storm passes, clearing debris quickly matters for multiple reasons - safety (downed branches and debris are hazards), insurance documentation (photo before we haul), and morale. We provide post-storm debris removal throughout Dothan and Houston County:
- Tree limbs and fallen branches
- Fence sections blown down
- Roofing materials and siding debris
- Damaged outdoor furniture and structures
- Flooded item removal (furniture, appliances damaged by water intrusion)
- General storm debris from yards and driveways
Storm-Damaged Appliances and Furniture
Flooding and storm damage ruin appliances fast - refrigerators, washers, dryers, and furniture that get wet in a storm are often total losses. We haul storm-damaged appliances and furniture throughout the recovery period.
