Miscellany
Residents urged to get debris out
Tallahatchie County’s rural residents are urged to get fallen tree limbs and branches to the roadside for collection by the company hired to clean up ice storm debris.
That is especially important for residents living on state highways 32 and 35, and U.S. Highway 49 in the county, as the company will be making only one pass through for the pickup of debris.
Once the company has picked up along those highways, they will not double back or stop to pick up debris placed after the initial pass, said Tallahatchie County Board of Supervisors President and District 2 Supervisor Johnny Goodwin, who stressed, “It’s one pass only picking up debris.”
