Brush (branches at least 3 feet in length and less than 12 inches in diameter) must be placed on the parkway, in front of your house (or along the frontage where refuse/recycling is collected), cut ends facing the street before 7 a.m. on Monday of the scheduled pick up (or Tuesday if Monday is a holiday). Please note: Pick up in your area may take 3 to 4 days to complete.

Do not tie bundles of brush with rope or wire. Piles should not be higher than 4 feet and never put in the street. Don’t park in front of the piles; crews will be unable to pick up the brush. More is at
