Bowie To Collect Debris From Storm On Wednesday

From the City of Bowie: Due to significant tree damage in Bowie, the City will relax yard waste set out rules for Wednesday, March 7. On March 7, the yard waste collection crews will collect whatever tree debris can be put into a trash truck. In order for tree debris to be picked up, residents should do the following:

• Place plants, tree limbs and logs at the curb in a manner that will allow the collectors to easily grab and load it into a truck.
• Stack branches in piles with butt or large end of limbs facing the curb. (Bundling of branches is not necessary.)
• Place larger tree limbs, trunks and logs at the curb.
• If the limbs, etc. are too large for the yard waste crews to pick up, the debris will be loaded using heavy equipment and dump trucks, but only if the debris is at the curb within reach of a backhoe operating in the street.
• Make certain that there is no trash, siding, or other building debris mixed in with the yard waste.

Any larger debris piles that the refuse crews are unable to collect will be collected as soon as possible later in the week.
