Haul the storm debris off an invited Lumberton yard before it molds and breeds (2026-07-19)

Storm after storm leaves Lumberton yards with soaked furniture, downed limbs, and ruined materials that owners — often elderly or still rebuilding — cannot move themselves. Debris that sits breeds mosquitoes, molds, and marks a block as abandoned. One yard cleared is one household unstuck. Standard: FEMA post-storm debris management guidance + SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities). Proof: before/after yard photos plus disposal or set-out evidence Method (FEMA post-storm debris management guidance + SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities).): 1. Confirm the host's invitation and walk the yard together to agree what goes. 2. Sort debris into vegetation, bulky items, and bagged trash, and stage or load by category. 3. Haul to the legal disposal or set out per the city's storm-debris pickup rules, keeping any receipt. 4. Leave the yard raked clean. 5. Photograph the yard before and after plus the staged or hauled loads, GPS-tagged and dated. Done when: before/after yard photos plus disposal or set-out evidence

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash. You see which before you claim, never after.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 45–90 minutes. Method of record: FEMA floodplain + green-infrastructure siting screen

Bring

• GPS phone
• tape/ruler for deposition depth
• metals field kit (if sediment screen in scope)
• boots + gloves
• camera

Steps

1. 1. Confirm post-event conditions are safe; navigate to the site; record GPS.
2. 2. Photograph deposited sediment / affected area.
3. 3. Measure deposition depth at representative points.
4. 4. If a sediment contaminant screen is in scope, run the metals field kit and record values.
5. 5. Note debris, hazards, and the extent (sketch).
6. 6. Enter depth, any analytes, hazard notes, GPS, photos into the proof record; sign.

If it does not match the plan

• Unstable ground / submerged debris / contaminated water -> document from safe footing; do not enter.
• Elevated metals in deposited sediment -> flag before any reuse; recommend lab confirm.

What counts as done

• Deposition depth recorded at representative points
• Metals screen recorded (if in scope)
• Debris/hazard note + extent sketch
• GPS waypoint + timestamped photos

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
