Collections of storm debris will begin this weekend and all such debris set out in the right-of-way will be collected. Here are the guidelines, including cut up trees and limbs into 4\u2019 lengths. What I do is haul mine all out there and whatever they don’t pick up for being too big, I’ll cut down to 48″. They’ve always picked mine up, but mine are all dead branches, light and easy to pick up.
