Description
We have some branches that fell in our yard from the storm that happened this past week. They are on the side of the road in front of our home. Please have someone come by to pick them up. Thank you.
I have followed up with the City, city council members, including the city council president and nothing has been done (as of August 30th). Someone has actually been throwing away trash on top of the branches. I guess we need to call the news to get this done. CITY OF RICHMOND GET IT TOGETHER!

The branches and yard waste are still in front of our house. When can we expect it to be picked up? It has been a month.

The branches have not been picked up yet and it is September 13th. This is absolutely unacceptable.

This is not the same issue.
The branches I am talking about are from the storm that happened back in July.
It was reported on seeclickfix.
This is incredibly frustrating!!
