CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Those in Clarksville needing clean-up help post-winter storm will be able to have their debris picked up at the end of February.

Crews will be removing fallen debris between February 17-27 for those that submit requests.

Tree limb sizes and location requirements that are required for the Street Department to remove debris on individual properties are, as always:

  • Biodegradable paper bags (for grass clippings, leaves, and small limbs)
  • Cardboard boxes (for grass clippings, leaves, and small limbs)
  • Larger limbs must be cut to 8 feet in length or shorter, and be less than 18 inches in diameter
  • Address must be within the City limits
  • Must be placed within 10 feet of the roadway, but not in the street, not blocking a drainage ditch, or the view of traffic

*No tree stumps or limbs cut by a commercial company 

This clean-up effort will be for winter storm debris only. If you want to request debris removal, call (931) 645-7464 or report them online at: Report a Concern Via SeeClickFix

Tenn. mom invites son's organ recipients to do his favorite activity, dance

Here’s a beautiful story of how one mother turned her grief journey into a gathering of gratitude… and organ donation awareness.

Robb Coles highlights a special event organized by Cari Hollis – whose 26-year old son Austin died two years ago. Austin agreed to be an organ donor – and that single gesture saved multiple lives.

Cari reached out to as many recipients she could find – several of whom traveled to Nashville for an emotional celebration in Austin’s honor. One woman – whose life was saved by receiving Austin’s lungs – put it simply: “He’s my angel”.
