Meyer’s has a team assembled to help with Peterborough and surrounding area resident clean-up for large fallen branches, and debris. We can help lift and remove branches with our trailers and chainsaw crew. Any branches that are too high to reach with a ladder, would be out of our scope and we recommend you connect with an arborist (see recommendations below).
Cleanup In the aftermath of the recent ice storm in Peterborough, residents have several resources available for cleanup and disposal:
Yard Waste and Tree Debris Disposal:
-
Curbside Collection: Yard waste collection is proceeding on its regular schedule. Residents can set out yard waste, including small branches and leaves, on their designated collection day. Ensure that all waste is properly bundled or contained to facilitate pickup. Home Collections for garbage and recycling
-
City-County Landfill: For larger tree limbs and extensive yard debris that exceed curbside collection guidelines, residents can drop off materials at the City-County Landfill located at 1260 Bensfort Rd.
