1. Are there any months where there is no brush pick up?

Brush pickup will be suspended every year when the  Fall Leaf Program begins (end of October )and during the months of November and December.  It will resume in January of the following year.

Brush regulations are: Cut into 4 ft lengths, tied and bundled in bundles under 50 pounds. Brush in these regulations should be picked up within 2 weeks. Residents are encouraged to follow these regulations to assure a timely pickup for all residents. Brush not in regulation is not subject to the 2-week timeframe.

If there is a weather event resulting in trees/branches falling, the regulations are waived. However, this is an extenuating circumstance, which can delay all brush pickup. Public Works will make this determination.

3. How do I get rid of brush?

Brush from routine yard clean-up is picked up by Public Works as part of the residential brush program. We do not schedule for brush collection; this is an automatic collection between the months of January through October. Brush must be in regulation (see the following rules). Pick-up time can vary depending on extenuating circumstances.

Regulations for curbside pick up: Brush must be cut in 4-foot lengths and tied and bundled in bundles weighing no more than 50 pounds or in open containers with handles (no recycling buckets) weighing no more than 50 pounds (no bags).

Also, residents can drop off brush and leaves at the Ecological Facility. If the materials are brought to the Ecological Facility in a trailer that is larger than 4 feet by 8 feet, there is a charge.

Charge is based on yardage and material.

Please note: If there is a weather event resulting in trees/branches falling, the regulations are waived. However, this is an extenuating circumstance, which can delay all brush pick up.
