Storm debris pickup project completed

Ocean Pines Public Works announced that it has completed its collection of yard debris created by Tropical Storm Isaias.

Current Republic Services customers may continue to place debris roadside for pickup per the regular collection schedule.

Republic Services will collect up to a maximum of four bags of leaves and/or yard cuttings per collection, as well as brush, tree limbs and shrub trimmings provided that they are cut into 4-foot lengths and tied into bundles weighing not more than 50 pounds.

Alternatively, limbs, branches and other yard waste may be taken to the Worcester County Central Landfill in Newark, Maryland, located just south of Berlin. A permit for use of this service is required; more information may be found at http://www.co.worcester.md.us/departments/publicworks/waste.
