posted on 2/2/2023; updated 2/3/2023
The City of Dover is contracting with an arborist to help clear public rights-of-way from low-hanging and downed branches and limbs from last week’s storm. The contractor will also collect and process limbs and branches from Dover properties placed curbside as time allows. Work is anticipated to begin Wednesday, Feb. 8.
Submit curbside collection requests through Community Services’ Service Request Portal at service.dover.nh.gov/RequestPortal, which can also be accessed through the city’s home page, www.dover.nh.gov, by selecting the “Contact Us” button on the upper right-hand corner. Submissions create a trackable digital work order.
Curbside collection will be focused on City of Dover-owned public streets. Community Services will consider curbside collection of woody debris on private roads contingent on obtaining an indemnity release from the homeowner’s association that governs the private road. For more information on private road curbside pickup, contact Community Services at 603-516-6450.
