PSEG Tree Trim Debris Removal (from PSEG Long Island website)

A quick guide to what debris we (PSEG) remove and when. 

What We  (PSEG) Take
It's our responsibility to remove vegetative debris and wood chips from:

• Planned, routine tree trim circuit work.
• Planned removal of a hazardous condition.
• Removal of a severely damaged or dangerous tree.

All debris is removed by the end of the day.

 
What We (PSEG) Do Not Take

• Other debris that we find on the property.
• Debris from the removal or trimming of a healthy tree that is within 10 feet of the Primary and Secondary wires for reasons unrelated to safety of the electrical system. This debris, including any debris that is lowered into a neighbor’s yard, is the responsibility of the owner of the property.

• Debris resulting from storm or emergency work that is needed to restore service. 
  Under Storm or emergency conditions (including storms, winds or other natural occurrences) we cannot take the debris. Our first priority is the restoration of power and our crews must respond to all power outage situations as quickly as possible. Please contact your town in case they can be of assistance.

Any tree debris not removed by PSEG as noted above becomes the responsibility of the property owner (trees on private property) or the local municipality (trees on public property/the Town's Right of Way).

• Debris from trees on private property can be removed by your sanitation carter, but it must conform to yardwaste specifications for removal. Alternatively residents may hire a commercial tree company at their own expense to remove and dispose of tree debris.
• Debris from trees on Town property or the Town Right of Way are the responsibility of the Town Highway Department. The Highway Department can be contacted at 631-499-0444 or a service request can be entered on their website.
