CLEVELAND, Tenn. – Tornado debris removal begins Friday in Bradley County.
County Mayor D. Gary Davis announced Wednesday that debris collection from the April 27 tornadoes will continue Mondays through Saturdays for several weeks.
The contractor will begin in several storm-damaged areas simultaneously. There will be at least two passes through each neighborhood to give residents time to bring debris to the road right of way, Davis said.
Bradley County Landfill hours have been extended to local residents for personal use only, he said. During the removal period, landfill areas will be open Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. beginning Monday.
Davis has asked property owners and volunteers able to do so to continue their own removal efforts, too.
