 Brush collection Guidelines(Spring Collection Only)

• Tree limbs are not to exceed 8 inches in diameter and can be no more than 50 pounds in weight. They must be cut into lengths not to exceed 3 feet in order to fit into the trucks.
• Separate larger tree parts from brush and branches.
• Do not bag brush - bagged brush will not be collected.
• Tree stumps, lumber, plywood, fence posts, railroad ties will not be collected with brush. These items must be disposed of privately.
• Place loose brush and tree parts at the curb no more than 7 days prior to your collection date. Do not place this material on the street and/or sidewalks. This creates a serious hazard for children walking to school and other pedestrians, as well as an unsightly condition in your neighborhood.
• The maximum collection per residence per pickup is 3 cubic yards (the equivalent to twelve 30-gallon trash cans).
• Residents are responsible for brush removal after the scheduled pick up occurs. Brush can be brought to Kanes Lane Recycling Center by residents during regular work hours.
• Residents shall set out brush or tree cuttings for curbside collection no more than one week prior to their scheduled collection date. Violators are subject to fines of up to $2,000, up to 90 days imprisonment and/or community services for improper disposal of these materials.
• Under recently amended regulations, Public Works is also authorized to remove improperly disposed materials and assess the cost of removal and disposal against the responsible resident.
