While last week's snow storm left Mansfield covered in beautiful blanket of winter white, it also left in its wake downed power lines and tree limbs.

The city's solid waste contractor Duncan Disposal provides curbside pickup of brush and other bulky items, including tree limbs. However residents must follow specific procedures so that the company's trucks can handle the debris.

• Cut tree limbs into four sections. Some homeowners may need to contact a tree service to cut the limbs into four-foot sections.
• Tie the limbs into bundles weighing no more than 50 pounds each and place at the curb.
• Duncan Disposal trucks will pick up the limbs on their normal pick up days and times. It may take multiple pickups for Duncan to dispose of all tree debris.

If you have any questions, you may contact Duncan Disposal at 817-317-2000 or the city at 817-276-4202.
