Storms came through the Aurora area again on Wednesday while clean-up work is still going on from last week’s bad weather.
Following last week’s severe storms, city officials said Aurora’s Public Works Department and Street Maintenance Division have been working to fast-track the clean-up process.
Residents with new tree issues, such as large, downed branches or downed tree limbs, should place them at the curb and file a ticket with myAurora 311 by calling 311, downloading the free app on the App Store or Google Play, or by going to www.myaurora311.com, according to a press release from the city.
Any current or existing tickets will be documented and closed accordingly, officials said. The Street Maintenance team is conducting sweeps across the city and will remove large branches and limbs if they are placed in the parkway, according to the release.
Groot will also continue to collect tree debris based on the following guidelines: Branches and limbs between ½-inch and 4 inches in diameter, and 2 to 4 feet in length, must be bundled, and each bundle must weigh less than 50 pounds, the release said. Bundled branches and limbs can be placed at the curb without a waste sticker, according to officials.
Brush smaller than ½-inch in diameter is considered yard waste and must be placed in a kraft paper yard waste bag with a waste sticker attached, the release said.
