Please mark the following dates on your calendar as brush must be roadside by 6:00 a.m. the Monday of collection. Brush collection may run the full scheduled week. Once a street or neighborhood has been collected crews will not return until the next scheduled collection date. Due to varying conditions, specific collection days cannot be projected for any neighborhood. In order to ensure your brush is collected in the most efficient manner follow the tips below. Acceptable brush piles allow for quicker collections, which saves time. As a reminder, depending on weather and work load your brush may be curbside for a week or more.
