Good sunshining morning!
Our parks department is out removing brush from town trees due to the blizzard. Hard to remember now that the ground is green and the sun is shining!

Our priority is to ensure that emergency services can get down streets safely. Please leave all brush from personal/private trees off the streets as we cannot remove it.

Storm-related debris such as tree limbs must be disposed of properly. Brush, branches, and stumps are NOT accepted in the Trash or at the Town Leaf & Yard Waste Facility. Options include Open Burning [with a permit available at https://www.falmouthma.gov/207/Open-Burning ] or Recycling at Blacksmith Shop Farms Inc., 716 Blacksmith Shop Road or All-Cape Recycling, 996 East Falmouth Hwy. two private facilities which charge a fee for recycling brush and limbs.
