TULSA -- City crews went street by street picking up piles of limbs and other debris blown down by the wind and storms that rolled through Tulsa two weeks ago.
The special green waste collection is happening for the next 45 to 60 days. The extensive cleanup project is expected take so long due to the more than 50 square miles impacted by the storms.
