NEW HAVEN, Ind. (WANE) – Due to the most recent storm, roads are closed and many residents

NATIONAL SERV-ALL
National Serv-All has indicated that any spoiled items which need to be disposed of should go
out with your normal trash. However, National Serv-All has asked that all spoiled items be
bagged and contained properly to avoid leakage in your containers and to avoid spoiled items
spilling onto the streets. (National Serv-All will be closed on Wednesday, July 4th and service
will run one day behind.)

TREE BRANCHES
City utility crews will be picking up down tree limbs from the storm, however, in order to assist
the public, residents will need to do the following:
▪ If homeowners want limbs picked up, they will need to take limbs to the curb. City
crews will pick up limbs at the curb.
▪ Residents are asked to cut branches (no more than 8’ long sections) so they can be
placed in the city trucks.
▪ Residents can also drop off limbs at 2455 Summit Street.

Dave Jones, Utility Superintendent, is also asking residents for their patience. “We are
experiencing a high number of branches down and this may take up to a month or so to get
these picked up.”

For more questions, please contact Superintendent Dave Jones at 414-9097.
For any limbs entangled in electrical wires, please contact your designated power company.
