The East Fifth St. Tree Committee is certainly not pleased about this

There was some drama today on East Fifth Street between Second Avenue and Cooper Square.

The story goes something like this.

This morning, workers arrived to remove a dumpster that had been on the block for months. We're a little sketchy on details, but apparently a resident yelled at the driver to sweep up the remnants from where the dumpster lived. So the truck with the dumpster now on board double-parked to do the sweeping. The driver then had to back up the truck, accidentally taking down the branches in the process.

Meanwhile, at this time we can't independently verify if this sign is via the East Fifth St. Tree Committee.
