Information regarding tornado debris cleanup and takeaway by the Springfield Department of Public Works
The Springfield Department of Public Works is telling any individuals with debris, rubbish, or tree branches as a result of last Wednesday's tornado to place those items curbside for pickup. The DPW wants blue bins to be used for recycling only.
Residents can also bring their tree branches and other yard waste to Bondi's Island Landfill It is open from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Any tree branches with a diameter of three inches or less will be taken away for free, while any branches with a diameter larger than that will cost $25 per yard.
If Springfield residents wish to dispose of large building materials, they can be taken to the McNamara transfer station on Rose Street in East Springfield. A fee is attached to this service. Smaller construction debris will still be picked up curbside.
For those who need plywood to patch up damaged buildings, it will be delivered by contacting the city's 3-1-1 call center at 736-3111.
