Acceptable Materials
Tips for Brush Collection:
- The maximum length for brush is 5' long. Longer branches will not be collected!
- The maximum branch size is 6" in diameter. Larger branches are considered firewood and will not be collected.
- Lay brush perpendicular to the street with the cut end toward the street. Pile brush neatly.
- Do not bring brush to the Recycling Drop-Off Site. Violators will receive citations.
- Do not place brush at the curb earlier than the weekend immediately before the collection begins.
