Recovery worker Pete Theriautt of Livermore, Maine, demonstrates the operation of a grapple hook on a Pride Construction Inc. grapple truck while staged in Charleston on Friday, Feb. 13, 2026. A grapple haul truck can hold 80 yards of tree limbs and branches, while a haul trailer can hold up to 88 yards, he noted.
The process of removing small mountains of tree limbs, branches and other debris from alongside practically every street in Charleston was set to begin this week.
On a motion by Ward 2 Alderman Lloyd Smith and a second by Ward 1 Alderman Gyrone Kenniel, the Charleston Board of Aldermen voted unanimously Tuesday night to give the go-ahead to a private contractor waiting in the wings to undertake the cleanup.
