Markham Economist & Sun
Markhams tree debris collection will continue for the next several weeks.
The special tree debris collection service will start Jan. 6 and continue each Monday for about six weeks.
The city will only collect items small enough to be put through a wood chipper, such as tree branches, twigs and limbs.
Residents are encouraged to safely remove tree debris from their property and neatly stack branches near the curb away from sidewalks and fire hydrants.
Branches do not have to be tied in bundles.
The city is responsible for removing and disposing of city trees, including tree trunks, wherever they fall, but will not collect tree trunks from private yards.
As a result of the ice storm, the city has streamlined its tree removal process.
Where a fallen or broken tree proves to be a hazard to the homeowner, the resident can hire a certified arborist to remove the entire tree or part of the tree without a removal permit.
But the city is asking for your help to track damage the citys tree canopy. If a damaged tree on your property is greater than 8 inches in diameter and 4.5 feet in height, the city asks that you photograph the damaged tree and submit the photo to the city.

It lies less than an hours drive from Bran Castle, the fabled home of Vlad the Impaler, better known as Count Dracula, and is surrounded by fortified churches and hilltop castles.
Despite her slight frame, Miss Curcean has to chop wood with a large axe for a stove that provides the sole source of warmth in the home and draws water from a nearby well with a metal bucket attached to a chain. The village, which lies in a valley bounded by the snow-capped peaks of the Carpathians, has mud roads and none of the 300 houses has running water. Job opportunities are scarce. Even for those who find work, life is tough the average daily wage is the equivalent of 7.
Most of the young people in the village have gone abroad, to England or Spain or Germany you cant earn any money here, Miss Curcean said over a glass of the local firewater, a potent spirit called tuica.
A plastic Christmas tree stood on a wooden table, next to a rusting fridge in the only habitable space in the house a living room with pink painted walls.
Miss Curcean said her fianc planned to stay in Britain for at least a year in an attempt to earn the 4,000 to 5,000 they need to refurbish their modest home, with its sagging tile roof and cracked door frames. Only then can they get married and start a family.
She said he had no intention of bleeding dry Britains social security system. For his part, Mr Spirescu insisted that he was in the UK to work, not to steal.
I just want to earn enough money and then I will come back to my country, he told Adevarul (The Truth), a Romanian daily newspaper. Im not going to stay permanently, I dont want to give up my homeland for England.
The poverty on display in Pelisor and countless villages like it, explains why so many Romanians want to move to the UK and other rich nations in western Europe. Farmers till the fields with ploughs pulled by horses in rural scenes not seen in Britain since the 1950s.
Miss Curcean, who has to look after two younger siblings because her parents are separated and jobless like her, said she would leap at the chance of joining her fianc in Britain.
I would do anything, really anything, she said. As soon as I get a job offer or find an opportunity, I will go to England. Victor said to me, 'If I could bring you over here tomorrow, I would. Hed like to get into construction, its something hes good at. Her boyfriends handiwork is evident around the house a few yards away is an outside long-drop lavatory that he built, and their two dogs sleep in wooden kennels that he made.

PLAINFIELD TOWNSHIP, MI -- A space heater used by a work crew likely was the cause of a Friday fire that caused massive damage to Fifth Third Ballpark, and fire officials believe the automatic sprinkler system was deactivated earlier in the day because of a false alarm.
Plainfield Township Fire Chief David Peterson said there was a false alarm at about 5 a.m. on Friday, Jan. 3, and that the system was shut down at that time.
Several hours later, Peterson said, a work crew was in a stadium suite using a space heater that started a small fire. The workers believed they had extinguished those flames and left the area, Peterson said.
About 11 a.m., the workers returned to find the area -- on the first base side of home plate -- in flames. A fire alarm was sounding, the chief said.
Peterson said he did not believe the suppression system worked properly during the fire.
The fire destroyed up to 12 suites on the first base side of the field, and Peterson estimated the damage at up to $500,000. Firefighters were able to stop the blaze from spreading to the third base size.

Business was interrupted at The Bay when a rack of burning merchandise triggered the store's sprinkler system and scrambled firefighters to Woodgrove Centre Thursday.
Firefighters were called out at about 2:30 p.m. after someone had apparently set a rack of clothes on fire near one wall on the south side of the store.
"The store has pretty high ceilings and the flames were high enough to trigger the sprinkler system," said Capt. Ennis Mond, Nanaimo Fire Rescue fire prevention officer.
Mond said store employees pulled the rack away from the wall and snuffed the flames out with two fire extinguishers.
Two female employees injured their hands breaking the glass covering a fire alarm pull station, but Mond said he did not know the extent of their injuries.
No other injuries were reported.
"All appearances are that somebody went in there and lit the rack on fire," Mond said.
The investigation has been turned over to the RCMP.

JESSIE HIGGINS / Courier & Press Rose Love, 28, sorts through the blankets available at the United Caring Shelters emergency night shelter, called White Flag, on Friday afternoon. Love usually sleeps in her car, but shes stayed at white flag during the coldest nights. Some of them are pretty run down, Love said. They do what they can. The shelter staff says they need more blankets for the coming cold weather.
JESSIE HIGGINS / Courier & Press A homeless man gathers up a new blanket and a few other supplies he received from the Aurora Homeless Outreach Team Friday. The man, who did not wish to be named, said he stays in a camp with his girlfriend. Because they drink regularly, he is not usually permitted in the Evansville shelters, and he is reluctant to try because he would have to leave his belongings out. The United Caring Shelter and the Evansville Rescue Mission both open emergency shelter space for people during extreme weather.
Homeless shelters in Evansville are making room to take in as many people as possible when the subzero temperatures hit next week.
The United Caring Services and the Evansville Rescue Mission both open whats called white flag shelters whenever the temperatures drop below freezing. That means when all the beds are full, the shelters give people blankets, pads or cots (if they have them) and a space on the floor.
With temperatures forecast to reach record lows by Sunday, the shelters expect they will be inundated with people seeking warmth.
At least youre out of the cold, said Rose Love, an Evansville woman who has stayed at the UCS White Flag Shelter for the past few days. Its not bad.
Love usually sleeps in her car, but that is dangerous when the temperature drops. In freezing weather, homeless people sleeping outside, under bridges, in abandoned buildings or in cars are susceptible to frost bite and hypothermia. And that risk increases if they have consumed alcohol, which some do, homeless service workers say.
No amount of clothing or cover will be adequate to maintain body temperature when it is near zero degrees for an extended period of time, the United Caring Services wrote in a public service announcement issued Friday that urged homeless people to come to their white flag shelter at 324 NW Sixth St.
Under normal circumstances, UCS will not allow people to stay if they are intoxicated. However, the shelter suspends the rule when the weather drops below freezing, as long as the intoxicated person complies with staff and does not disturb other white flag residents, said Kimron Reising, UCS executive director.
Sheriffs deputies will usually stop by two or three times during the night, but we have very few problems, Reising said. Everyone is really grateful for someplace to be out of the cold.

DEEP FREEZE: Shelters make room for homeless who need to escape the cold
FOCUSED: Pumice Food Group owner David Kerr says he is determined to rebuild the restaurant.
The extent of the fire damage to the award-winning Pumice Restaurant was almost certainly avoidable, an independent fire safety expert says.
Fire Protection Association of New Zealand president David Nathan backed Hamilton's Senior Station Officer Daryl Trim, who said the outcome of the fire could have been different if the restaurant had a sprinkler system and a brigade-connected alarm.
But the owner of the building, Jeff Downey, said it was built to code and that the rules were set by the fire service.
Fire crews were called to the Church Rd restaurant in Te Rapa last Sunday morning where the blaze was so extensive they said the building would have to be torn down.
Nathan works independently with councils and is qualified to verify fire safety systems. He said a sprinkler system and adequate warning to firefighters would have protected the building and business.
"The provision of such a system in the Pumice example would likely have seen damage repaired and the restaurant operating again within days," Nathan said.
"Sadly Pumice never had such a system and the resultant damage is evident to see."
He said there was "a void" between the level of fire protection required for a building consent "and what building [and] business owners really need to ensure likely business continuity".
Pumice Food Group leased the building for its flagship restaurant from Downey Construction which had developed the Church Rd business park over the past decade.
