With derecho strength winds blasting through Shakopee Thursday night, many residents are reporting fallen branches, trees and other yard debris as a result.

The City of Shakopee Public Works Department is responsible for boulevard trees throughout the city and is working diligently Friday to clear debris caused by city-maintained vegetation.

The city is not responsible for picking up yard waste from boulevards if it is placed there by the property owner. Property owners are responsible for maintaining and disposing of any yard waste on their own property. 

The SMSC Organic Recycling Facility, 1905 Mystic Lake Drive South, is offering free yard waste recycling every Sunday through October. The city encourages residents to take advantage of this free service by dropping off their yard waste between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. this Sunday, Sept. 19.
