City of Scottsbluff staff are busy assessing the storm damage while clean-up efforts have begun. We ask City residents to put their yard debris in their yard waste containers first, then use biodegradable paper yard waste bags if needed. Cut branches and trees to 5 feet in length. Set all debris at the curb. Crews will spend the first part of the week picking up the debris. Debris, including large trees/branches, can be hauled to the Scottsbluff Tree Dump. Trees that have fallen in residents’ yards will need to be removed from their property by the owner or tree service. The City will not enter private property to remove any down trees or branches. The tree dump will be open during normal hours this week. More information on the City Tree dump can be found on the City of Scottsbluff Website. We ask that everyone accomplish clean-up efforts by Wednesday.
