City to Pick Up Large Branches All Week

Takoma Park will have city trucks out this week to remove large branches. Residents should bring large branches out to the right of way or along the curb for collection. City staff will not go into private property to pick up the branches, Takoma Park Public Works Director Daryl Braithwaite said.

The weekly Monday yard waste collection is for branches less than four feet long and three inches in diameter. The Monday yard waste collection occurred this week, although due to the volume they were not able to get it all in one day and they continued collecting on Tuesday after the trash routes, Braithwaite said.

Next week, due to the Labor Day holiday, the Monday yard waste collection will be canceled. The next Monday yard waste collection will be September 12.
