Fayetteville

The City, in conjunction with assistance from FEMA, will be collecting storm-related debris beginning on Sept. 24. Residents are asked to be patient with storm debris pickup; it may take weeks to be completed. Numerous passes will be made through each neighborhood to ensure all debris is collected.

Residents should place the following items at the curb in three separate piles; DO NOT MIX THE PILES:

• Vegetative Debris: Place logs (no length restriction), plants and larger tree branches in one combined pile at the curb. Containerize leaves, small branches and twigs, pine straw and pine cones in yard waste containers.

• Construction and Demolition Debris: Place building materials, carpet, drywall, furniture, lumber, mattresses and plumbing items in one combined pile at the curb.

• Appliances and White Goods: Place air conditioners, dishwashers, freezers, refrigerators, stoves, washers, dryers and water heaters at the curb in one combined pile.

Debris should be placed on the grass or the driveway and within seven feet of the curb. This is because the trucks picking up debris are limited in their reach.

Debris should NOT be placed in the road, under a tree, next to a pole, under power lines or obstructed by anything else. Do not park cars in front of your piles, as it will prohibit the trucks from accessing the piles.

Normal household trash, recycling and bagged debris of any kind will not be picked up with storm debris. Residents should continue following their normal trash, yard waste and recycling schedules for these items.

City of Fayetteville Government offices will be open Wednesday with limited service delivery. Essential personnel will continue to support the community with response and recovery from the storm. A liberal leave policy is still in effect.

Because of road and flooding conditions, not all inspections and permitting staff have been able to safely report to work. Therefore, the department will be operating with limited staffing.

ORANGE COUNTY

Hillsborough

A downed red oak tree on Calvin Street caused a power outage on Friday and crews worked to restore service and remove the tree.

Duke Energy is only removing portions of the tree affecting its lines, and it will likely be at least a few days before a contractor is available to remove the part of the tree blocking the street. The tree was over 70 feet tall and the trunk was more than 30 inches across, requiring special equipment to remove it.

By Tuesday, a contractor has removed much of the red oak, but the street remains closed, however, until it can be thoroughly cleared of mud and debris. The tree's trunk measured 27 feet in circumference, and it was thought to be over 200 years old.

Some citizens have requested wood from the tree, and the town may make it available if it is in good enough condition and it is practical to do so. Much of the interior of the tree had rotted away, contributing to its collapse.

Recent improvements to Calvin Street mostly survived the tree's fall, with only a small section of sidewalk needing replacement.

Duke Energy customers without power are asked to call (800) 769-3766. Piedmont Electric Membership Cooperative customers should call (800) 449-2667. Citizens should not call 911 for power outages.

Citizens are asked to be alert for fallen trees, dead trees, and dead tree limbs if they must be outside or must travel during or after the storm. Motorists in high-profile vehicles should be especially cautious while driving.

Visit the town's website for more updates.
