After closing down for two days because of Hurricane Sandy, the City of Falls Church government will reopen Wednesday.

The Mary Riley Styles Public Library will also reopen after a two-day hiatus. The Falls Church Community Center will also remain open for regular business hours.

Times regularly scheduled court will be announced soon.

The city also announced that through Nov. 7 it has waived fees for brush pick up. The city requests residents do the following to prepare both leaves and debris for collection:

• Place brush at the curb; do not obstruct the sidewalks or right-of-ways. Leave the gutter pan clear of all debris.
• Do not combine leaves and limbs. Rake or bag leaves independently from branches and other large yard debris.
• Cut large tree limbs into segments no longer than 5 feet.; brush that exceeds this length requires additional manpower and resources. Smaller debris can be bundled or placed in brown, compostable yard waste bags.
• Leave only vegetative matter for pick-up; this collection is exclusively for tree limbs and brush downed by Monday’s storm. Fee waivers do not apply to special trash collections.
