Beginning on Thursday, May 23, the City of Dubuque will provide free collection of the tree limbs and branches that were downed as a result of the severe thunderstorms that impacted the city on Tuesday, May 21.
Storm-damaged limbs and branches must be placed at the curb or alley line where residents normally set out their solid waste containers. Branches measuring less than three inches in diameter and no more than five feet in length should 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.
Collections will be performed by City yard waste crews on the resident’s regularly scheduled trash/recycling collection day. Note: Due to the Memorial Day holiday, collections usually performed on Monday will be completed on Saturday, May 25. Residents do not need to contact City staff to schedule limb or branch removal. This no-charge collection will end on Wednesday, May 29.
