Sand Springs Offers Tree Debris Options

Sand Springs wants to make sure residents with tree limb damage from recent thunderstorms know how to deal with the debris.

Residents have two disposal options available to them.

1. Tree limbs no greater than two inches in diameter can be disposed of at the City's monthly "Chipper Day" this Saturday, June 7, at the Street Division facility, 8620 W. 21^st St. Hours are 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. A current City utility bill showing refuse service is needed for admittance. Stumps are not accepted. Tree limbs are shredded into mulch, which is available to the public for gardening and composting. Free firewood is also available while supplies last.
2. As a second option, residents can cut their tree limbs into lengths of four feet or less, and then tie them into bundles for stacking next to their trash polykart for collection by City Solid Waste Division crews. Up to eight bags or bundles can be placed with the polykart for weekly pickup without an additional charge.

For more information on either option, call the City's Public Works Department at 246-2588.
