general scrounge alert: Canton CT

my buddy came into work saying a tree service contracted by the city was there to clear trees close to the road. they took down a big dead ash from the end of his driveway and ended up taking the wood but they might be out and about throughout Canton and surrounding towns. seems like the orange trucks have been up and down Rte 44 trimming stuff back alot recently. wondering if it's fall maintenance? either way, if you're in the area, might be a good opportunity.
