Wednesday, December 12, 2007BRUSH DROP-OFF SITE TO OPEN FRIDAY DUE TO STORM
LAWRENCE - Due to the tree damage created from this week's ice storm, the City of Lawrence's brush drop-off site operated jointly by the City's Parks and Recreation Department and Public Works Department will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday, Dec 14, through Monday, Dec. 17.
The brush drop off location is located at 1420 E. 11th St.
Tree limbs and brush from citizen's private property may be taken to the location free of charge. The limbs will be chipped and used as mulch throughout the City. Private tree materials not taken to the drop-off site need to be properly bundled for City refuse collection during its weekly scheduled pick up. Materials need to be bundled and placed with your trash for removal. It will then be taken to the landfill.
Bundles should not exceed 5 feet in length, 18 inches in diameter or 65 pounds per bundle.
Parks and Recreation crews will also canvas neighborhoods beginning Monday, Dec. 17, to collect tree debris too large to dispose of in other manners. Residents must have the tree limbs stacked along the curb in the street right-of -way to be picked up.
For more information, contact the Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department at 785-832-3450.
