MONROE CO. – Monroe County Government has hired a private contractor to help pick tree debris from residents within the county’s jurisdiction after the June 25th storm.
County Officials are encouraging residents who want their debris picked up and removed to place all tree and vegetation debris along the end of their property line, either on the curbside or near the edge, to allow the contractor easy access.
Officials urge the public not to put debris in the roadway, ditches, or sidewalks.
The private contractor will be picking up the debris by township.
The debris pickup schedule will go as follows:
| Township | Debris To Curbside By | Pickup Dates |
| Perry Township | July 7, 2024 | July 8, 2024 – July 12, 2024 |
| Van Buren Township | July 14, 2024 | July 15, 2024 – July 19, 2024 |
| Clear Creek Township | July 21, 2024 | July 22, 2024 – July 26, 2024 |

| Polk Township | August 11, 2024 | August 12, 2024 – August 16, 2024 |
