The city of Bowling Green is seeking submissions to better understand storm debris pick-up needs.
The city will conduct pick-up services starting June 10 regardless of feedback across the city’s leafs pick-up zones, though submissions help show which areas need the most assistance.
To access the form, visit bgky.org then under “Featured Links” click “Report tornado related tree/stump removal.” Select “Tornado – tree/stump removal” under the request type, then fill out the form.
A previous city release stated neighborhood-specific timelines will be published in the coming weeks at bgky.org/announcements and the city’s social media.
The city asks residents not to place debris in the street or in drainage ditches and not to place chipped debris at the road. Construction debris or bulk waste will not be collected.
