DANVILLE, Va. – The Public Works Department is waiving restrictions for collection of tree limbs and cuttings, brush and other storm debris to help city residents affected by Thursday’s storm. The waiver will be in effect for three weeks.

The waiver is for residents who pay the full refuse fee. The restrictions waived include the volume and weight of debris and the size of the debris pile.

City residents are asked to place the debris at the edge of their property line, but do not block sidewalks or allow the debris to extend into the roadway. Also, debris should be placed away from utility poles, guide wires, mailboxes, and fire hydrants.
