NEWTON, Kan. — According to a Tuesday update, beginning Wednesday morning, the City of Newton is bringing in their tree contractor, Alfred's Tree Service, to pick up in Area 1, and City staff will begin in Area 2.

They understand not everyone will have their limbs ready, especially those whose trees are involved in power lines. Once crews have completed one pass through the city, crews will re-evaluate the situation and make additional pickups as needed.

Please pile your limbs as well as you can at the curb. City collection trucks can pick up tree pieces no larger than 10 feet long and three feet wide. Alfred's equipment can handle a bit bigger pieces, but limbs are most likely to get picked up if you cut them to that size.

If you leave limbs larger than that, they may be left behind, but don’t panic, the city of Newton will work with you to get them removed.
