COLLECTION SCHEDULE

The City will collect brush every Tuesday.

Residents are asked to call the Department of Streets/Parks office at 473-0560 to make an appointment. Appointments must be made by 5 a.m. on the Tuesday collection so route scheduling can be completed.

COLLECTION FEES

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 ten minutes will be charged to the property owner at a rate of $30.00 per ten-minute increments.

COLLECTION PROCEDURE

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 TO BE ACCEPTED OR NOT ACCEPTED

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.
