Green Corner: What to Do with Ice Storm Debris

Ann Arbor offers the following guidelines for pickup of branches that will be chipped for garden compost:

• Do not put branches in the street or in bike lanes.
• Put large branches (at least three inches in diameter and four feet long) facing in one direction on extensions between sidewalk and curb. 
• Bundle together smaller twigs or branches (smaller than 3 inches in diameter and 4 feet long) and leave at curb. 
• Break down large bundles of branches so they are easier to handle.
• Smaller branches and twigs can also be placed in compost carts.
• Root balls, stumps, tree trunks, or logs are not being collected during branch pick-up.
