If you are facing a larger than normal amount of yard debris after this weeks heavy rain and flooding, the city of Fort Worth has a plan to help you get rid of it.
With excessive amounts of debris to be collected after this week’s rains and floods, the City of Forth Worth has a few simple guidelines for efficient and effective collections.
Officials say to cut and stack tree limbs in one organized row or pile at the curb. The pile can not be larger than a small car.
For weekly collections, tree limbs should be cut shorter than 8 feet in length and less than 4 inches in diameter, but if the tree limbs are larger than that then should be stacked separately from small limbs/brush and will be collected on your assigned bulk week.
If your pile of material is larger than the size of a Volkswagen Beetle, consider using one of the four drop off stations. You can find the address and business hours to each location at fortworthtexas.gov You will need to show proof of residency.
All materials should be placed at the curb before 7 a.m. Monday of your assigned bulk week and left until the material has been collected, in case crews are delayed.
