Time Change for Requesting Brush Collection

The city offers brush collection by appointment every Tuesday, all year. Effective April 2, per a press release from the Department of Public Works, residents wishing to schedule a brush pickup must call 262-473-0560 by Monday at noon. When calling, you should provide your name, address, and phone number. Alternatively, a request may be submitted online by Monday at noon.

Brush must be brought to the curbside and placed with the cut ends facing the street.  Brush cannot be brought to the curbside before 4 p.m. on the Sunday prior to the scheduled Tuesday for collection.  Brush must be at the curb by 7 a.m. on Tuesday.  

Brush must be a minimum of 3/4″ and a maximum 6” in diameter. The brush must be a minimum of 3 feet in length.

The City reserves the right to not collect brush for just cause. Vines, rakings, roots, and root balls will not be accepted. Property owners can dispose of vines, rakings, roots, and root balls at the compost site. The site will be open on Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. beginning on April 6 and on Wednesdays from 3-7 p.m. beginning April 10.

Brush located at the curbside will be collected and chipped. The first 10 minutes of chipping will be free of charge if an appointment has been received by the DPW.  Any chipping after the first 10-minutes will be charged to the property owner at a rate of $30 per 10-minute increments. Major storm damage brush collection will be done at no charge. The City will determine and announce emergency storm related brush collections. All brush placed at the curb will be collected on the day of appointment. No exceptions!
