City to Provide Free Collection of Storm-Damaged Tree Limbs and Branches
Beginning on Thursday, June 11, the City of Dubuque will provide free collection of tree limbs and branches that were downed as a result of the storms that impacted the city on Wednesday, June 10. The final day for this no-charge collection will be Friday, June 19.
Staff can only collect storm-damaged branches/limbs up to three inches in diameter. Limbs and branches must be placed at the curb or alley line where residents normally set out solid waste containers. Branches must be no more than five feet in length and must be tied together with rope or twine. (Previous sentence updated to clarify that branches MUST be tied together with rope or twine.) Bundles of branches should be no greater than 18 inches in diameter and weigh less than 40 pounds. Setouts that do not meet these requirements will not be collected.
Collections will be performed by City crews on the resident’s regularly scheduled trash/recycling collection day and must be set out by 6 a.m. Residents do not need to contact City staff to schedule limb or branch removal.
