City crews continue to clean up tree limbs and other debris from sidewalks, roads and boulevards after last Saturday’s storm.
To facilitate clearing, the city is asking residents who are able to put large branches on boulevards for city crews to pick up.
For those able to transport debris, the Mohawk Street Landfill is open for free drop off of leaf and yard waste Monday to Saturday from 8 am to 5 pm
Free drop off of residential debris related to the May 21 storm is being offered at the landfill until Saturday, June 4. The landfill is closed on Sundays.
The tipping fee of $10 per load charged to residents who bring large tree branches with a weight of 150 kilograms or less will be waived until June 4. Commercial customers will still be required to pay $73 per ton for brush and other compostable waste.
Residents are reminded that if branches are under four inches in diameter, they can be cut, bundled and set out on their regular garbage day. If branches are four inches or larger in diameter, they can be placed on boulevards for city crews to clear.
If there are larger tree issues on your property, get qualified companies to ensure the clearing work is done safely. Use of chainsaws and cutting overhead tree limbs can be dangerous and should only be done by those who are qualified.
To report downed trees/debris blocking roads, sidewalks or trails, call the city at 519-759-4150.
