Wide-spread tree damage caused by recent storms has resulted in higher-than-normal amounts of yard waste being placed at the curb for collection by city crews. The normal 6-inch diameter residential restriction to limbs/logs has been waived through March 17 to assist city residents with the removal of the large amount of damaged limbs. 

Commercial, industrial, or contractor cut restrictions remain. Officials ask residents to use the following guidelines: 

• Please do not block the yard waste piles with cars. 

• Do not mix trash or construction/demolition materials with the piles. 

• All limbs intended for collection must be brought to within 6 feet of the curb. 

• No dirt and/or root balls. 

• No contractor yard waste cuttings will be collected.
