Tree Cutting Services Prompt Response From Mayor

Mt. Carmel Mayor Joe Judge is admonishing tree contractors who trim or cut down trees and then leave what they’ve cut next to the street expecting city crews to dispose of it. Judge said residents also need to be aware of what is and isn’t picked up by the brush crew…  

  Judge said city hall has fielded complaints from residents thinking city workers were being lazy by not disposing of the brush…  

 Judge said if the brush route continues to incur additional expenses, the city council may need to revisit the fee residents pay for the service.
