     In the aftermath of Wednesday's storm, Montgomery County's Department of Public
Works and Transportation has crews working to clear tree debris from County roadways. 
Crews will continue to work in the affected neighborhoods until the debris has been removed.
     Throughout this weekend and into next week, County crews will be conducting a
special curbside pick-up of tree limbs and other storm debris.  Residents who have
debris in their yards are asked to place it at the curb and call 301-217-2159 to request a
collection.  Residents may also place bundle tree limbs and branches, in accordance with the
County's solid waste recycling procedures, at curbside for removal as part of their normal
weekly recycling pickup.
     In addition, debris is accepted year-round at the County's Solid Waste Transfer Station,
Mondays through Saturdays, from 7:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.  The facility is located at 16101
