What to do about fallen trees after the winter storm in Alpharetta

According to Channel 2 Action News, six inches of snow fell on Alpharetta this past weekend.

And in some neighborhoods, that forced a few trees and tree limbs to fall over into yards on private properties.

On Monday the city listed options for homeowners with fallen trees in their yards.

If you live in Alpharetta and trees fell over on your property, here's what you can do, according to the city:

If the trees or limbs can be cut into pieces no larger than three feet in length and six inches in diameter they may be placed at curbside for removal on your normal trash and recycling collection day. If the debris can be bundled, it would be appreciated, as this will allow Republic Service crews to move as quickly as possible to service you and your neighbors.
If the branches and trees are too large to cut into pieces of that size, unfortunately, the city is unable to assist with the removal. Residents will need to contract, at their expense, with a third party to handle the removal, just as the city does for large debris that has fallen on public property.
