Brush Drop off Site on Park Point - May Schedule Set     

 

[Duluth, MN] - The City of Duluth is operating a brush drop off site on Park Point for tree parts as a way to provide a contained and convenient location for Park Point residents as they start tree trimming or removal for the season. As no tree parts are to be moved out of the quarantined area, the City is working with residents to prevent the spread of emerald ash borer (EAB) into other areas of the City by providing this central drop off site. The City plans to staff the drop off site on two Saturdays, May 7and May 21, 2016 from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM in the parking lot near the beach house. A June schedule will be developed based on resident needs.   


The City reminds the general public that this brush drop off site is strictly for Park Point residents and is not a trash receptacle. In addition, the public is not allowed to bring in tree parts from other areas of the city into Park Point.


The City’s EAB Management Plan has been finalized by the Urban Forest Commission. Information about EAB Plan is available on the City's website,  http://www.duluthmn.gov/parks/emerald-ash-borer/
