Residents are asked to not place any brush at the curb more than one (1) week prior to their scheduled pickup day in order to maintain the cleanliness of our City.
Limb diameter should be no larger than three (3) inches at any point (about the size of a softball).
Yard clippings and leaves must be in plastic bags. It should be noted that yard waste in bags will be collected with your weekly scheduled trash pick-up throughout the year.
Only one (1) truckload of material per residence will be picked up. A truckload is defined as one (1) pickup truck, or approximately 3' high x 4' wide x 8' long which is approximately 100 cubic feet, maximum.
