Full Breakdown
The city collects brush and bulky waste on residential customers' scheduled service day. Brush and bulky items must be curbside by 7:00 a.m., placed at least five feet from buildings, structures, and utility meters, and never under tree branches or overhead wires, items violating these placement rules simply won't be picked up. Customers must separate brush from bulky waste before collection, and all brush must be cut into sections no longer than eight feet. Residential customers get one load per scheduled day (one collection-vehicle's worth); larger volumes require contacting the city manager's office and may carry added fees.
Violations & Fines
Non-compliant piles (too close to structures, under wires, mixed with garbage, oversized brush) are left uncollected; setting brush out more than 48 hours early is also prohibited under Sec. 102-38.
