Wind Storm Clean-up
- Details
- Created: 15 September 2008
The City of Dublin chipper crews will suspend normal chipper service for the next two weeks to allow crews to focus full-time on post storm clean-up.
Homeowners are advised to get branches and other chippable material near the curb. City crews will make at least one pass through the city each week for the next two weeks. There is no need to call the City to arrange for this service but the City asks for patience due to the storm's severity and the amount of debris to be processed. Normal chipper service will resume on September 29th.
The City offers these guidelines for storm debris clean-up:

The City offers these guidelines for storm debris clean-up:
- Trimmings must be piled within ten feet of the curb or at the end of the driveway, but not in the street or blocking sidewalks or bike paths. City crews will not come on private property to pick up debris.
- Trimmings should be piled neatly, with the cut off ends pointing toward the street.
- Debris should not be piled near parked cars.
- The chipper machine can accept branches with a maximum diameter of 8 inches; there is no maximum length.
- Only tree and shrub parts are to be set out for chipping. No vines or plants with roots are acceptable. Roots must be cut off and processed through other composting programs (via the regular yard waste pick-up).
Fortunately, most of the trees in Cramer's Crossing survived the record-breaking wind brought on by the remnants of Hurricane Ike. We are also fortunate that we didn't lose electrical power and most roofs survived with little or no damage. Many of our neighboring communities were not so lucky.
Updated 9/28/2008:
The ODOT Traffic Cameras for I-270 at Cemetery and I-270 at Tuttle Crossing (displayed on this page) are OUT OF SERVICE due to wind damage. ODOT expects repairs to be complete sometime in October. All other cameras on our TRAFFIC & WEATHER page are functioning normally.
