Duluth Storm Response Update - July 25 Clean Up Process

[Duluth, MN] - The City of Duluth crews and contractor are out clearing boulevards and curbs of storm debris today. Here are updates:

Curbside Pick up: City has a contractor starting today, July 25, to help City crews with debris removal from curbs and boulevards. In a recent change of direction, the City's contractor will be focusing on the Lakeside neighborhood starting at 60th Ave East and head west, while 10+ City crews tackle Woodland and other neighborhoods in the West end of town. This will ensure that several neighborhoods are cleared with efficient use of staffing resources. This work is also critical to ensure that MN Power crews are able to access streets with downed power lines. After this initial sweep through the neighborhoods, the City will assess the progress in removal of debris in the next few days. The City will provide more public updates on this work. 

Residents can place debris on the boulevard or front yard. Please do not place household items or garbage next to the storm debris. The City understands there may be debris in alleys but will need to address those at a later date. At this time, the primary focus is on streets and front yards to ensure emergency vehicles and MN Power crews can pass.

Drop off site - 8 AM to 6 PM (On Rice Lake Road near Hickory St. across from Boulder Ridge apartments). Residents can continue to drop off their tree debris. The same hours are extended through the week of July 25.

Tree parts from the storm damage is being accepted. City staff is on site during the hours of operation. No household items, other yard waste, or garbage is allowed.
