City of Dubuque to Provide Free Collection of Storm-Damaged Tree Limbs and Branches 

JULY 16, 2024

Beginning on Wednesday, July 17, the City of Dubuque will provide free collection of the tree limbs and branches that were downed as a result of the derecho that impacted the city on Monday, July 15. This no-charge collection will end on Tuesday, July 23. 

Storm-damaged limbs and branches must be placed at the curb or alley line where residents normally set out their solid waste containers. Branches measuring less than three inches in diameter and no more than five feet in length should be tied together with rope or twine. Bundles of branches should be no greater than 18 inches in diameter and weigh less than 40 pounds.  

Collections will be performed by City yard waste crews on the resident’s regularly scheduled trash/recycling collection day. Residents do not need to contact City staff to schedule limb or branch removal.
