Tornado debris removal progresses

Jan. 13, 2016

Storm debris removal is moving faster than expected. Crews are wrapping up the first pass through the storm damage area within the next week. (See map below.)

Collection has expanded to alleys this week. Only debris stacked in a pile and in the city right of way will be picked up. Crews will not pick up scattered debris.

Debris crews will begin a second pass through the area the week of Jan. 25. Residents are reminded to separate debris at the curb from household waste, recycling and appliances.

A Household Hazardous Chemicals Collection site will open on Wednesday, Jan. 13, at 401 Oak Trail (Bobtown and Lyons roads). The collection site will be open Wednesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
