BRUSH COLLECTION GUIDELINES:
Scheduled Brush is over for 2009. We do not conduct scheduled brush collection in November because we need all of our staff for leaf collection. If you have brush we recommend that you bring it to our drop off sites. Any collection we do for the remainder of this year will be extremely limited and we cannot guarantee collection.
Starting in 2010 there Will Be No Brush Collection Schedule. Brush Will Be Collected Between April 5th and October 15th, But We Will No Longer Follow A Monthly Schedule. We Will Collect Brush Using The Same Rotation System We Currently Use For Leaves.
General Guidelines:
- The brush collection program serves property owners who maintain
their own property collection and is provided monthly, April through October, for tree trimmings.
- Material cut by contractors will NOT be collected.
Please make arrangements with the contractor for material disposal.
All material collected is chipped and recycled as mulch or compost. To keep program costs down and prevent damage to equipment, please follow the collection rules.
Brush Collection Rules:
1.) Brush is tree and shrub trimmings over 18" in length. Brush May not exceed 8' length and 8" diameter
2.) Remove all roots, stumps and dirt.
3.) Place brush on the terrace at the street edge away from trees, parked cars, fire hydrants, utility poles, mail boxes and other obstructions. Do not put brush in the street.
4.) Stack brush with the cut ends facing the same direction.
5.) Tie small amounts of brush in bundles, using string or twine. Bundles may not exceed 4 feet in length or weigh more than 40 pounds.
6.) DO NOT PUT BRUSH IN BAGS, BOXES, OR TRASH CONTAINERS.
The following material will NOT be collected:
1.) Brush cut or trimmed by contractors. Persons hired by the property owners are responsible for removing material.
2.) Small twigs and branches less than 18" in length.
4.) Material cleared from lots or undeveloped property
5.) Material in boxes, bags or containers.
Brush will be collected during the week listed for each district.
