CURBSIDE BRUSH/GREEN WASTE COLLECTION GUIDELINES
• Brush/green waste should be put curbside no earlier than two days before pickup.
• Brush/green waste will only be picked up from fully developed residential properties. Brush from lot cleaning will not be picked up.
• All brush/green waste must be placed in the front of the property.
• Limbs: 6” diameter maximum and no longer than 6-8 feet. Please stack them neatly.
• No stumps or roots accepted.
• Generally, we will not collect over 6 cubic yards (approx. a triangular pile 5’ wide at the bottom x 5’ high x 35’ long) of brush in any one pickup.
• Do not block ditches, catch basins, and manholes with green waste.
• Please containerize loose green waste items (flowers, hedge clipping, and small piles of branches) as it makes it easier for our crew to pick up.
• Please be aware that our crew generally picks up green waste items by hand and places them in a compactor. Your compliance with the guidelines makes it easier for our crew and will make your neighborhood even cleaner.
• Landscapers and contractors are responsible for disposal of any debris.
Please note: The Town will not collect brush/green waste from residents who do not abide by these guidelines.
