Put Out Your Tree Limbs, Storm Debris

The Montgomery County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) will provide special storm tree debris collections—on county-maintained roads only—throughout the county starting July 11.

In a special one-time only service resulting from Friday's storm, crews will systematically begin covering all of the county’s 217 snow plow routes, picking up tree debris that is located within the county right-of-way.

Residents should place only their storm tree debris in the public right-of-way before July 11, MCDOT said in a statement. Residents should ensure that sidewalks, driveways and roads are not blocked. 

Residents are reminded that once their storm tree debris is placed on the right-of-way, it still may take several days to be picked up due to the volume of debris and the number of homes involved.

Residents may also continue to bundle their debris and use county-provided trash and yard trim curbside collection or drop off disposables at the Transfer Station. For information on cleanup instructions for fallen tree limbs visit www.montgomerycountymd.gov/solidwaste. 

To report any unsafe conditions, residents should contact the 311 Call Center at 311 or 240-777-0311 or online 24/7 at www.MC311.com.
