Over the weekend of February 12, 13, and 14, crews spent their time sanding and clearing trees and debris from City streets.

City crews and the City’s solid waste contractor will begin this week repairing the most severely damaged streets and removing brush from the curb. The magnitude of the damage will take a number of weeks to mend.

As a reminder, your brush will be removed more quickly if citizens follow a few simple rules outlined in City ordinances:

"Yard waste, tree trimmings, and branches must be six feet or less in length, with branches no more than six inches in diameter, weighing less than 50 pounds, and in a neatly stacked pile no greater than four feet high."...

Contractors will pick up properly stacked brush within 30 days of it being placed at the curb. In addition, the solid waste contractor is under no obligation to pick up brush from vacant houses or vacant lots.
