Stafford requires tree limbs, brush, and bundled yard debris to be tied in bundles under 45 pounds and 4 feet long, with branches no thicker than 3 inches, and total volume capped at three cubic yards per pickup.
Per the City of Stafford solid waste rules, tree branches, brush, shrubs, and fencing must be tied in bundles weighing no more than 45 pounds and no longer than 4 feet, with branches no wider than 3 inches in diameter to protect collection equipment. The total volume of tree limbs plus garbage cannot exceed three cubic yards per collection, must be stacked at the curb before the pickup day, and each item must be light enough for one person to carry. As of October 1, 2024, the city no longer offers a separate quarterly tree limb pickup, so all limb disposal occurs through the regular brush program.
Oversized bundles, branches over three inches, exceeding three cubic yards, or piling debris that blocks the roadway may result in skipped collection and a notice from GFL or the city.
