Update to Tree and Brush Removal in Manchester CT
The other day I wrote a post about what to do with all the branches and twigs from our freak October snow storm. Today I was out cleaning up the yard when a town truck came by to check on our street (which is still without power) and to let people know that it would be really helpful if the branches were piled up with the cut side to the street. This way, the work crews can grab hold of the branches and throw them in the truck more easily. Anything that helps with clean-up will help us all.
A few other changes were announced since I wrote the last post. Here are the highlights:
- Because there is so much debris, the town of Manchester has suspended leaf vacuuming for this year. DO NOT RAKE YOUR LEAVES TO THE CURB. They can be bagged and left at curbside to be collected on normal trash day or you can bring them in bulk or in paper bags to the landfill.
- The landfill will have extended hours of operation on Sunday, November 6 from 8:00 to 4:00 and on Monday, November 7 from 7:15 to 5:00.
- The collection of large piles of debris will begin on Monday, November 7. The town will try to make a later sweep to enable residents to clear their yards if they don't get it all to the curb by the time the trucks get to their neighborhoods.
All the other rules mentioned in my original post still apply. For updated information, call 860-647-3200 ext. 0.
