A tree has fallen in my yard. Will the City remove it?

The City will not remove any tree or limbs on private property. The property owner must contact Golden Environmental to get instructions and coordinate debris removal. You can request a pick-up from Golden Environmental by calling (229) 382-0309.

All trees removed by the City are located on City Right-of-Ways (ROW) and present an immediate threat to life or property. The removal of any tree on City ROW, not classified by an immediate threat, requires the approval of the City of Tifton Tree Board. Contact the City Manager's office for information concerning the Tree Board.
