Ankeny picks up storm debris

Beginning tomorrow morning, June 25, 2013 and ending Thursday, June 27 at 4 p.m., city crews will pick up tree and branch debris at the curb, making one pass through each residential neighborhood. This pickup is limited to the northwest quadrant, north of West First Street and West of Ash Drive, where the majority of today's storm damage occurred.

Residents in this area must remove trees and limbs from private property to the public right-of-way (the area between the sidewalk and the curb) for easy removal. Branches larger than eight inches in diameter or smaller than one inch in diameter will not be picked up and remains the responsibility of the homeowner.

Lawn bags will not be picked up by city crews.

This cleanup effort is limited as described above. Ankeny residents are encouraged to assist the City by handling their own storm debris when possible.

The city of Ankeny thanks everyone for their cooperation and understanding.
