ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. — Branches and tree debris that fell from last Friday's severe weather will be pickd up by the St. Louis County Department of Transportation for neighborhoods in unincorporated St. Louis County. 

Limbs must be broken up as much as possible and stacked behind the curb, according to St. Louis County. Workers cannot enter private property to remove debris. 

The program will take place over the next two weeks. The debris will be turned into mulch for parks. 

Crews will not take away shingles, siding or any nonvegetation. 

As storm recovery efforts continue throughout St. Louis County, officials remind residents of other resources available.

In a press conference Tuesday, St. Louis County Executive Sam Page urged residents to report any damage by calling 211. This will help the county catalog the destruction caused by the storms needed to receive funding assistance.

For those who need help with tree and debris removal and tarping, call the Crisis Cleanup Line at 844-965-1386. Volunteers are ready to assist at no cost.

St. Louis County Police Chief Col. Kenneth Gregory warned residents of possible scams targeting victims after a natural disaster.

He said contractors should be licensed and to verify businesses with the Better Business Bureau.

Regarding Friday’s severe weather, Gregory said there were 3,700 calls made to police, with the largest number of calls to the north county precinct.

He commended the police department for an “outstanding job.”   

Ambur Banner, director of the Department of Human Services (DSS), thanked departments and everyone involved for their response.

“Our community deserves to know that it took a village when this emergency hit us,” she said. “We truly have some remarkable leaders right now in St. Louis County that have proven to do whatever it takes when we sound an alarm.”

For those in need of food, resources and services, Banner said for residents to call the United Way at 211, which is funded in part by DSS.

“This system is designed to link individuals to the right services at the right time,” she said.

Ameren Missouri has restored power to 200,000 customers as of noon Tuesday. The goal is to restore the remaining 3,000 outages by the end of the day, according to Ameren.
