**At this time, we do not have a schedule for special pick ups. All special pickups (limbs and leaves) will be picked up as city workers are able. Pick up on the same day cannot be guaranteed. The City can only pick up limbs and leaves. All other materials are to be disposed of by the resident (i.e. taken to the landfill).**
