This photo depicts the right and wrong ways to stage tree and limb debris. Doing it right the first time, allows crews to pick it up faster. If they have to pass you, it is probably because the grabbers could not be used because the debris was stacked the wrong way. The most important points to remember are that trees and limbs go in one stack away from everything else. (We will address your construction pile in another post.)
