Curbside Brush Collection Requirements:

• Public Works crews will pick up one brush pile per address per scheduled collection period.
• Limbs shall not exceed 6 inches in diameter or be greater than 10 feet in length. Overall brush pile dimensions are not to exceed 4 feet by 4 feet by 10 feet.
• Brush piles that are not uniformly stacked or piles that are tangled will not be collected.

Please stack brush in a location where it is accessible to Public Works crews, does not impede vision of motorists, or block pedestrian walkways. Please avoid stacking it close to fire hydrants and signposts.

The following WILL NOT be collected:

• Cuttings done by private contractor: all tree, brush or shrubbery cuttings resulting from work performed by a private tree care or gardening/landscape contractor, shall be disposed of by said contractor and will not be picked up by Public Works.
• Piles containing material other than brush. Brush piles containing stumps, logs, tree roots or root balls, yard waste, trash, lumber, vines, rakings, wood from any building, remodeling, roofing, construction or landscaping project, or any other debris.
• Brush mixed with leaves. Brush and leaves are collected by different equipment at different times. It is inefficient for the crew to separate leaves from the brush.

Fall Loose Leaf Pickup

October-November: Placed in the curb line by 7:00 AM

Starting in October and ending in November, the Public Works crews will begin picking up leaves that have been raked in the gutters. Leaf collection operations typically require one week to cycly throughout the City, depending on other priority work, weather conditions, volumes of leaves, available staff, or equipment break downs. Leaf collection will cease or before if snow prohibits crews from continuing collection.

Leaf piles mixed with brush or foreign debris will not be picked up.

DPW may extend leaf pickup pending the weather and a notice will be published if needed.
