Description
There are limbs on the ground that came down in the storm about two weeks ago. The limbs are from a tree that belongs to the city. Twice now a city truck has come by and put a green tag on them saying limbs have to be cut up into four-foot lengths. Do residents have to do this on city-owned trees (ones that are between the sidewalk and the street)? Can the city pick these up? Or should I drag them back into the middle of the street?

On a different occasion I called city hall about a neighbors overfilled trash bin on a day the wind was blowing items from it down the street. I was told by city staff that if the litter blew onto my property I was responsible to clean it up and returning it to the neighbors bin could be considered as littering on my part?? I try to get needed info to straighten out questions and always appreciate when a city staffer shares info on this site. Being informed is an efficient tool.
I hesitate to comment on the idea of returning limbs to the street...I can speculate that if I did that in my neighborhood the limbs would next be found on my porch, having been placed there by an irate neighbor. I once, with permission placed a bag of my own household trash in a neighbors blue bin. (I had just the one and it didn't make sense to put my cart out) I noticed a short time later that this bag had been removed from the neighbors bin, torn open, and the contents mixed in and around the contents of my curbside recycle bin. An anonymous neighbor had decided to step in and provide assistance where it wasn't needed. I later told the neighbor who'd allowed me to use his bin. We both just shook our heads. You never know what someone else may make of your actions. Good luck with the limbs.
