Brush Pick-Up

Monday’s as needed. Stack branches nicely, small piles, cut ends facing the road. Nothing larger than 5”. Please DO NOT mix leaves with brush.  They require two different machines and we will not sort the piles.

Brush chipping is now the 1st Monday of the month as needed. City residents are welcome to drop brush off at the DPW yard any time the rest of the month. The brush pile is at the far south end of the leaf compost pile.

Leaf Pick-Up

During the Month’s of April and October. Monday’s, Tuesday’s if needed and Friday morning’s if time allows. Place leaves in the curb. Long, skinny piles work best. DO NOT place any branches or other objects in the piles, they will clog the leaf vac.

During the other months, yard waste (grass clipping, leaves etc) may be brought to the DPW yard and deposited in our compost pile to the south of our building. There is a sign marking the area .
