Long lines expected at storm debris drop-off locations | Environment

Downed tree limbs, leaves, branches - the aftermath of last week's winter storm still lingers in yards and along curbs.

If you are looking for a place to put all that leftover storm debris, a number of drop-off sites will be open and happy to take it off your hands. But the city warns to pack your patience, it's expecting long lines at all five of the sites.

Below is all the site information from the city:

• Center at Norpoint
  4818 Nassau Ave.
   
• Ehli Auction
  9415 Pacific Ave.
   
• Tacoma Landfill
  3510 S. Mullen St.
   
• TAGRO
  2201 Portland Ave.
   
• Vassault Park
  6100 N. 37th St.

Drop off hours are 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. through Sunday, Jan. 29.

You can recycle large amounts of wood storm debris at no additional charge. A reminder: branches and limbs should not be larger than 6 inches in diameter and 6 feet long.

If you want your debris picked up curbside with your yard waste collection, it must be cut to fit inside the yard waste container so the lid sits flat and it can't weigh more than 250 pounds.
