Westport Begins Hurricane Sandy Cleanup

In response to the amount of tree damage that residents have incurred due to the recent storm, the fee for residents to dispose of yard waste at the Bayberry Lane yard waste site will be waived through Nov. 17.

 

Public Works Director Stephen Edwards said in a news release that the Department of Public Works has started its cleanup from the storm, and will remove the storm damage that has fallen within the road right-of-way. 

Trees and debris that have fallen on private property are the responsibility of the homeowner to clean up.
