- Description
- Case Number: BCS-00169499 was closed without action by the city on 3/2/2026 9:00:21 AM. I removed fallen tree branches from the sidewalk so people could pass and put the debris in my truck. I am traveling out of state tomorrow and cannot safely travel with the debris in the truck. I called 311 again who referred me to Urban Forest and Trees. They did not return my call. If no one comes by to remove the debris from my truck, I will have to put the debris back on the sidewalk tonight.

Noted. The tree debris in question was from a tree rooted on private property. The city of Boston does not remove private tree debris or maintain private trees. As stated in the previously closed case and as seen in the case closing photos, the debris was from a private tree and is the property owners responsibility to remove and dispose of the debris. If the debris is placed onto the sidewalk or roadway PWD Code Enforcement will ticket and fine you for placing the debris into the sidewalk and roadway.
