What It Is

When the weather hits, we move

Storm and disaster debris cleanup is the clearing, collection, and hauling of debris left behind by severe weather and disaster events — downed trees and brush, construction debris from damaged structures, and scattered material. SGB Environmental Services mobilizes crews and equipment for this work across Southeast Missouri, Northeast Arkansas, Southern Illinois, and Western Kentucky.

Disaster recovery is about speed and reliability. We're a regional, owner-run crew built to mobilize on time-sensitive work — clearing access, removing debris, and hauling it off so cleanup and rebuilding can begin. We support prime contractors, municipalities, and agencies, and where conditions allow we route recoverable material through affiliated recycling operations at Bootheel Recycling to cut disposal volume on large jobs.

How It Works

Mobilize, clear, recover

A response built for the realities of post-storm conditions.

1

Rapid call-out

One call gets crews and equipment heading toward your site with a clear scope and plan.

2

Clear access first

We prioritize opening roadways, entrances, and work areas so other recovery work can start.

3

Remove & haul

Debris is collected, loaded, and hauled off with our own licensed trucks and equipment.

4

Recover where possible

Recoverable metal and material is separated for recovery, reducing landfill volume on large efforts.

FAQ

Storm & disaster cleanup questions
