You can take brush to a drop-off site.
If you feel your brush was missed during pickup, please complete a brush collection report-a-problem.
We will check the GPS information on our vehicles to be sure our brush collection crews were through your street on the week they should have been.
If the data reveals your street was missed by our collection crews, we will work to get the overlooked material collected.
However, if a truck was through your street during the assigned week, we will not send a truck back.
Keep in mind that there is frequent confusion over what exactly brush collection crews collect and what they need to leave behind.
Brush crews collect branches, sticks, and other hard woody material cut from trees, shrubs, and bushes that can be fed into a chipper to make wood mulch.
Brush crews do not collect stalks or other plant material. Plant material clogs chippers, so this material is left behind. Plant material is collected as yard waste.
Also, brush crews do not collect lumber or other trash because that does not belong mixed with mulch. Material they can't collect is left behind. Lumber should be placed into the tan trash cart or scheduled for large item pickup.
