Do you have yard debris from the severe storm that hit our area Tuesday morning?
The city is extending yard waste disposal hours for residents, allowing free disposal of twigs, branches and other debris from the storm that caused significant damage, toppling trees, tearing down power lines, and leaving tens of thousands of Michiganders without power.
