Outside Work and Disposal

Most of the damaged contents were placed outside for picking up.



The items had to be placed close to the curb for disposal.



One morning, a line of Iowa State DOT dump trucks were parked in town.



Various equipment was used to scoop up the debris for disposal. One of the DOT drivers said the items were taken to a location so some workers could look through it for items to recycle.



The workers couldn't scoop up all of the debris so some is left for the homeowner to place into a pile for later pickup.



The house had to have the siding removed so the underlying material could dry. It had fiberboard siding, an asphalt layer, then tar paper.





After removing the three layers, board siding was reached. This may also have to be removed to get to lower layers.
