The spring snow storm that blasted through Colorado snapped a countless number of tree limbs in the region, cleanup and disposal efforts were underway Saturday under partly sunny skies.
In Denver, property owners are responsible for downed trees and branches on their private property and within the adjacent public right-of-way, according to city officials.
Denver’s Department of Transportation and Infrastructure collects a “limited number of branches” as part of its trash collection service for residents, the city said on its website. Branches must be no larger than 4 inches in diameter, and they must be cut into lengths of 4 feet or less, bundled and tied, and weigh no more than 50 pounds.Denver residents can also drop off branches at the Cherry Creek Recycling Drop-off center located near East Cherry Creek Drive South and South Quebec Street.When removing or freeing damaged limbs from trees, people should be aware of, and avoid, overhead powerlines.
. “The city will evaluate and prioritize the removal of the obstruction, and when necessary, the city will remove the encumbrance, and the cost of the work will be billed to the responsible property owner.” Elsewhere, residents should check with their local governments for information on limb removal and disposal.
