(Pottawattamie County) In response to the overwhelming cleanup efforts following the severe weather of April 26th, Pottawattamie County has announced establishing a tree debris drop-off location. There is no charge for property owners in the county to utilize the drop-off, and officials emphasize material outside vegetative debris will not be accepted. Loads, including scrap metal, lumber, and other materials, will be denied.

The drop-off is open to all county property owners who experienced damage from the recent weather events. Pottawattamie County Secondary Roads employees will be on-site with equipment to assist. Once the drop-off location is complete, Pottawattamie County Conservation will burn the debris.

With the governor’s request for a Presidential Disaster Declaration, Pottawattamie County officials emphasize the importance of residential and business property owners submitting their damages to the Pottawattamie County Emergency Management website.
