Branson extends Ward 3 storm debris cleanup deadline
The Branson Public Works Department has extended the special storm cleanup an extra two days due to the volume of limbs and brush residents have set out for the free pickup. That means residents in the city’s Ward 3 will have their storm debris collected on Monday and Tuesday, September 29 and 30.
The same rules apply. All limbs and brush must be at the curb by 8 a.m. on the day of pickup. The debris must be cut and stacked at the curb in 4-6 foot piles, but don’t need to be bundled. This pickup is for limbs and brush only, not trash or other items. And once crews go through Ward 3 on Monday and Tuesday, they will not backtrack.
The public works department began the city-wide storm debris clean up last Monday to help residents, at no charge, properly dispose of all the tree limbs and brush blown down on their property by the remnants of Hurricane Ike that rolled through the Ozarks early September 14. All three city wards were supposed to be completed by this Friday, but the amount of curbside debris made public works officials realize they needed more time to cover the whole city; so residents in Ward 3 will have the city collection next Monday and Tuesday.
Questions about the city-wide pickup can be directed to the Branson Public Works Department at 337-8562.
