If your holiday weekend plans include cleaning up after the recent wild weather, know that the city will have extra brush chippers making rounds to collect downed branches curbside next week.

Stack branches that are more than four feet long and up to four inches in diameter at the curb, with cut ends all facing the same direction (preferably in the direction of traffic flow).

Smaller storm debris can be placed in kraft-paper yard waste bags or in a trash bin labeled with a yard waste sticker and left at the curb on your regular collection day.

Visit bhamgov.org/yardwaste for more information.
