General Tree and Debris Removal

Property owners are responsible for removing debris and downed trees that are not endangering power lines. Damaged or fallen trees can be dangerous if handled incorrectly because they are sometimes under tension, like a coiled spring. GRU recommends hiring a professional to clear up vegetation debris. For information about debris pick up call:

• Gainesville's Solid Waste Division: 352-334-2330 (Gainesville residents)
• Alachua County's Waste Collection: 352-338-3233 (County residents)

Trees On or Near Main Power Lines

One of GRU's top priorities is to make it safe to restore power by clearing material that is interfering with or damaging electrical equipment.

Call GRU at 352-334-2871 to report damaged or broken trees and limbs that are endangering or have fallen on power lines.

Customers should not attempt to get close to the line or to remove or trim foliage within 10 feet of a power line.
