All vegetation (trees, limbs, and branches) must be separated from building materials.

Building materials cannot be dumped by volunteers or the city at this time—updates on that will be provided soon. You can stack them at the curb until we know more.

Move trees and vegetation to the curb – volunteers will load and haul them away.
