Brush Week

Brush and Branches Pickup

Branches up to 8 feet long and 6 inches in diameter are collected by the City’s Department of Public Works from the curbside during the First Full Week of each month May through November.

Brush pick-up is completed city wide.  There is not a defined route nor is it associated with a homeowner’s trash day.  Brush should be out on the curb or tree lawn for the first day of the collection week for the month. 

Brush Guidelines: 

This program is not intended for complete removal of trees by homeowners or contractors.  Residents who require this type of service need to contract with a private tree removal company.  Make it clear with your contractor that the job includes hauling away all debris from the project.

Tree limbs and brush must be less than six (6) inches in diameter and no longer than eight feet in length.  Stack the pile so the larger ends are all facing the same way.

Keep brush and limbs completely clear of City streets, sidewalks, mailboxes, street lights and sign poles, landscaping fences, overhead tree branches, and power lines.

Place the pile at the street gutter or the tree lawn.

No loose leaves, ornamental or lawn grass clippings, flowers, weeds, plant clippings, stumps, roots, sod, garden vegetation, limbs exceeding the size limits, building lumber, landscape timbers, railroad ties, rocks or bags of waste will be picked up.  If any of these items are mixed in the brush stacks, the entire pile will be left for the homeowner to dispose of.
