November 9 Deadline for Rural Linn County Organic Storm Debris
Linn County and its contracted crews have so far cleaned up 866,170 cubic yards of debris, according to Iowa's News Now. 6,623 hazardous trees/limbs have been moved as well. Take a drive around town, though, and you may still see the devastating aftermath of the August 10 still prevalent in so many ways.
Some folks are still waiting for debris pick-up and according to Iowa's News Now, in unincorporated Linn County, officials have set a new deadline for that organic (storm-generated) debris to placed curbside for their crews to pick up.
In order to guarantee collection by Linn County, and although the process will likely continue well after that date, you must have it placed in the right-of-way (ROW) in these areas by November 9. Given the amount of widespread debris to be collected, the process will continue after that date.
If you'd prefer to haul it away yourself, several locations are still available, only for unincorporated Linn County residents due to FEMA reimbursement regulations.
These sites are open daily from 7 a.m. to sunset.
