STORM RECOVERY UPDATE – TOWN OF DYER

As Dyer continues to recover from the recent storm, Town crews, Public Works employees, emergency personnel, contractors, utility crews, and community partners continue working throughout the community. We appreciate the patience and cooperation of our residents throughout the recovery process.

🌳 TREE LIMB & DEBRIS CLEANUP

Public Works crews and contracted tree removal companies continue collecting storm-related tree limbs throughout Dyer.

• Place tree limbs and branches at the curb for collection.
• Keep limb piles clear of parked vehicles, fire hydrants, electrical boxes, and other obstructions so large equipment can safely access them.
• Residents and contractors may also bring tree limbs to the designated drop-off area at Dyer Public Works, 516 Edmond Drive.
• Do not place tree limbs or yard debris in residential dumpsters.
