We do not pick up brush/branches in the winter. You may make a brush/branch collection appointment during Yard Waste Season (typically the first week of April through early-December, weather-permitting). We do not pick up brush/branches in the winter.

Branches must be less than six inches in diameter and cut to maximum 4-foot lengths. The total brush/branch pile cannot exceed 4 ft. x 4 ft. x 4 ft. (length x width x height). Branches/brush must be tied in secure bundles that one person can lift.

Please do not place brush/branches at the curb until 24 hours before your scheduled collection date. Brush/branches need to be at the curb for 6:00 a.m. on your appointment date.
