MARYSVILLE – The city of Marysville is helping out residents who were hit by the wind storm Dec. 11.

Two city crews are responding to calls or emails from residents who need excess debris picked up from their property.

The crews started the project early Dec. 12, cutting up fallen trees on roads and sidewalks to try to keep them clear.

Dec. 15 they were on Cedar north of Grove where a huge limb had broken off of a tree and knocked down a power pole.

After the pole was replaced, crews came back to cut up the rest of the debris and haul it off to city property. Once all of the debris is collected, it will be sent through a chipper.

Waste Management will keep to its regular yard-waste pickup schedule, but city crews will handle any leftover debris up until Thursday, Dec. 19.

Marysville residents can contact Paul Kinney at pkinney@marysvillewa.gov to arrange for pickup.
