Following the wind storm on Oct. 4, the city is continuing its clean up effort.

Due to the wind, tree branches and debris were scattered across the city.

City staff spent the weekend working to locate and remove hazards, but since the damage is widespread, it will take time for all hazards to be removed.

The Park and Recreation Department maintains trees located in parks, the boulevard district and golf courses.

They’ll be clearing debris in those areas as time and staffing allows.

Once safety issues are resolved, Park and Rec will pick up tree debris from residential front yards.

Residents in the boulevard district should place tree debris between the sidewalk and curb, much like fall leaf pick up.

Residents outside the boulevard district who use city sanitation services should cut branches and limbs to four feet or shorter, bundle them with twine and place the bundles next to city sanitation containers, leaving space for crews to access the containers, according to the city.

Bundles will be picked up on a resident’s regular city trash pickup day.

Debris and bundles larger than 75 pounds needs to be taken to the landfill, according to the city.

Residents not living in a boulevard district nor using the city’s sanitation services, should take their debris to the landfill.

For any tree related damage that poses a safety concern, call dispatch at (406) 455-8599.

Do not burn debris as that is not permitted in the city limits.

The city does not pick up tumbleweeds unless GFFR deems them a safety hazard. They can be bagged and placed in a sanitation container.
