Where to drop off tree limbs, debris from late spring snowstorm

DENVER — The late spring snowstorm broke a lot of tree branches in communities across the Denver metro area, some falling into power lines, causing outages.

Now residents are faced with cleaning up the broken limbs and other debris littering streets and sidewalks.

"I was afraid that, more than anything else, because some of these limbs are so big, I was afraid it was gonna hit the house," Sharon Higgins, an Arvada resident said. "The branch on the north side of the tree fell and just kind of hugged my son in law's car and no damage. Just praise the Lord. It was unbelievable that nothing in the property got damaged at all."

Another Arvada resident told Denver7 she had a power line down in her backyard.

"I was sleeping when it happened, and then I kind of heard something at like 3 a.m. and it was just kind of like a loud crash," Elora Chism said.
