April Brush Collection Delayed Two Weeks

Date: 03/26/2013

Due to the amount of snow still on the ground, the City has delayed the April brush collection by two weeks.  The new schedule is as follows:

District 1:  April 15-29

District 2:  April 22-26

District 3:  April 29-May 3

District 4:  May 6-10

If you're not sure in which district you reside, please click here for a map, or here for listing by street name.

All brush must be placed at the curb by 7:00 am on the Monday of collection week.  While crews will be collecting all week, they will not return to a street once they have collected from it.

Brush collection is a free service provided to residents.  The service is only for brush trimmed and collected by the homeowner.  Brush trimmed by a contractor must be disposed of by the contractor.

The City's free yard waste site, located at the Public Works Garage on Edna Taylor Parkway (between Femrite Dr. and East Broadway), opens on Monday, April 8.  The site accepts grass clippings and yard waste, but brush is not allowed.  The site is open 24 hours per day, everyday.

Public Works crews will also do spring leaf collection from April 15-May 10.  Residents can rake their leaves to the curb anytime during this time period, and they will be collected by the vacuum trucks. 

Crews will also begin sweeping streets on April 8 to remove the winter salt and road debris.
