Place the branches (no larger than 5 inches in diameter and no longer than 3 feet in length) at the edge of your property, but not in the roadway or blocking the sidewalk.

If you are able, please assist in the cleanup by bringing your branches to the Graydon Pool parking lot, and placing them in the barricaded area.
