Alexandria relaxes trash requirements due to storm

The City will temporarily relax some of its normal requirements for removal of tree debris on private property through September 21. Residents removing tree debris on their property should place tree limbs and debris at the curb, and if possible, cut them down to pieces that you, as a homeowner, can safely take to the curb for collection. Residents are encouraged to use care when removing large trees that have fallen on their property. If possible, items should be no larger than 2-3 inches in diameter; no longer than 4 feet in length, be bundled and weigh no more than 75 pounds per bundle. Residents are reminded to stay away from tree limbs that may be leaning on power lines and to steer clear of downed wires; to report these, call Dominion Virginia Power at 1-866-DOM-HELP (1.866.366.4357).
