Debris Clean Up Tips For City Of Elizabethtown

The City of Elizabethtown is asking citizens who are removing debris from their property to follow these steps to aid in clean up. “As the cleanup process begins from last Friday’s storms, I would ask that residents please be patient with our Public Works crews. They have been on the clock all weekend and will continue to work extra hours in the weeks to come to help them out. We were asking that everyone residing in the city who places brush along the roadway to be picked up to please make sure brush piles are manageable. Crews are unable to handle trees or limbs larger than 6 feet in length. Additionally, if you have brush cleared by a professional or have the ability to haul the debris away yourself, I would encourage you to do that as it may take city crews several weeks to pick everything up. Any city resident who decides to haul debris away themselves can take it to the multi-purpose storage facility located at 1600 Nicholas Street that facility is open Monday through Friday from 8 A.M. until 6 P.M. Again we want to thank everyone for their patience and also thank the Public Works crews for their hard work. They are truly unsung heroes, “ said Spokesperson Chris Denham.
