BRUSH, GRASS & LEAF COLLECTION
The daily route begins at 6:30 a.m. The Department of Public Works (DPW) asks that all residents place their grass, leaves and/or brush out the night before. DPW cannot return to areas previously serviced that day.
Please Note: Collection routes are weather permitting. When grass, leaves and brush get wet, they may not be picked up on collection day; wet materials can damage equipment.
Building materials (fencing, drywall, etc.), dirt, and mulch will not be picked up.
Do not place grass, leaves and/or brush in bags. You can place grass in a container marked “GRASS” in four (4) inch letters. Containers must not exceed 32 gallons.
Brush should be no longer than six (6) feet and placed in a pile with all branches facing the same direction. PILES MUST BE SEPARATED! Our equipment cannot process mixed piles.
All yard waste must be set out by the curb – do not put yard waste in grass medians!
