On April 2, a tornado swept through Carmel, leaving behind a mess of fallen limbs and scattered debris. In response, Carmel Street Department has been tirelessly hauling away the remnants of the storm. Residents are reminded that Wednesday, April 30 marks the final day for the city's free curbside storm debris pickup service.
The opportunity, first announced on April 3 following Mayor Sue Finkam's local emergency declaration, is nearing its end.For those yet to dispose of their tree-related aftermath, the city advises placing all such debris next to the roadway, a system that ensures the collected remnants of nature's havoc are swept away promptly. However, the last swirl of trucks will cease to pluck the detritus from the streets come Wednesday's end.
The Street Department asks that you notify them once the debris is ready for pickup, according to official communication.The guideline provided insists on proper curbside placement, enabling the street crews to efficiently complete their rounds. Residents who are hampered by age or medical conditions can contact the Street Department for special assistance.
Those whose homes have endured structural damage by the storm's rage are instructed to report this too, which will prompt City Building Inspectors to schedule an assessment..
