Debris directions

Cape Girardeau

The company hired to clear debris from Cape Girardeau streets collected 1,300 cubic yards of debris Friday. Marriott Logging finished clearing zones C and D. Today, the crews will work in Zone F, around Southeast Missouri State University.

"You can't hardly do it during the week, with all the cars there," said Dale Marriott, the logging company owner.

Taking advantage of Sunday's low traffic, his crews will be on Independence Street, William Street, Broadway, one end of Bloomfield Road and West End Boulevard, he said. "The traffic would be a lot lighter. We'd appreciate if people would be patient if they see us out there. If they can avoid coming up there, we'll really appreciate it. It won't take us long to get through."

Residents may also take tree debris to the city's Compost Holding Area, 453 Cooper St., 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily Monday through Saturday.

The city's transfer station, open 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday will, for a fee, allow contractors and those living outside the city to drop off debris. Use the South Kingshighway detour to get to Cooper Street.

Jackson's public works department is concentrating on narrow major roads to make sure school buses and firetrucks can get through. On Monday, it will resume working in the Greensferry Road area.
