City Reschedules Storm Debris Volunteer Day to July 24;- Debris Removal Dates Change

City Reschedules Storm Debris Volunteer Day to July 24

Public Works debris removal dates change to August/September

The City of Springfield has rescheduled its community-wide Clean Green SGF Storm Debris Volunteer Day to Thursday, July 24. The July 17 effort was cancelled out of an abundance of caution for the safety of volunteers, as severe weather was forecast.

The workday is organized to assist residents who are physically unable to move storm debris to the curb. The Volunteer Work Day is separate from the Public Works debris pickup schedule.

Volunteer Day – Now July 24

• The workday’s purpose remains the same: to assist residents who are physically unable to move vegetative debris to the curb.

• Those already signed up to receive assistance will remain on the list. The deadline to request this particular assistance has passed.

• Volunteers previously registered will receive a confirmation email to check availability for the new date.

• Volunteer sign-ups remain open to groups and individuals at www.CleanGreenSGF.com.

Updated Public Works Debris Pickup Schedule

Due to the postponement, Public Works neighborhood debris sweeps (debris removal) will also shift to begin after the volunteer event:

• Zone 1: August 11–15

• Zone 3: August 18–22

• Zone 2: August 25–29

• Zone 4: September 1–5

Residents do not need to register for these sweeps/debris pickups. They are simply asked to make sure organic debris only is moved to the curbside (without blocking sidewalks or driveways) prior to their City Council Zone’s scheduled dates.

Important Notes for Residents wanting Debris Removed in August and September:

• Only natural/organic vegetative debris will be collected (limbs, branches, brush).

• No registration is needed for pickup.

• Debris should be placed at the curb or nearest accessible location, without blocking sidewalks or driveways.

• Debris must be ready by 7 a.m. on the first day of your City Council Zone’s scheduled pickup week.

This effort is part of the City’s ongoing response to the April 29 and June 19 storms, which caused widespread tree damage and infrastructure impacts across Springfield.
