Storm Debris Pickup Scheduled

City crews in Oelwein will be going around the community to clean up storm debris from high winds that blew through the city on Monday (June 30th), including downed trees and clearing roadways.

The crew will also be picking up limbs and brush that have fallen on residents' properties.

Oelwein city officials are asking that citizens put their brush and limbs near the curb for pickup in the coming days. City workers are not allowed to go onto private property to access yard waste; it must be placed at the curb.

The first priority will be to clear Oelwein city streets, then begin the task of picking up storm debris. The cleanup process will take several days, as this is a holiday-shortened work week, with Independence day falling on Friday.

The operation is expected to continue into next week.
