Summary
Edinburg requires brush to be bundled and set at the curb separately: never inside city trash carts.
No brush or yard waste shall be placed inside the city-supplied containers for collection. All brush to be collected by the city shall be placed in the parkway behind the curbline at a location so that access to it is not obstructed by overhanging tree limbs, wires, or other obstacles, which would interfere with mechanical collection. Brush collected on regular trash and brush collections shall be bundled into four foot long bundles not exceeding 24 inches. Unbundled trees and brush shall be cut into lengths of six feet or shorter.
Full Breakdown
Edinburg's Solid Waste Department bans placing brush or yard waste inside city-supplied garbage carts. Brush must go in the parkway behind the curb, clear of overhanging limbs and wires so mechanical collection equipment can reach it. Loose brush from regular collections must be bundled into four-foot bundles no more than 24 inches across; unbundled trees and brush must be cut to six feet or shorter. Once-a-week residential service includes brush and bulk-item pickup, but commercial accounts must arrange separate special pickup for brush.
Violations & Fines
Brush placed inside a cart or left unbundled/oversized can be refused by collection crews; commercial operators disguising non-residential brush as residential waste to dodge fees violate Sec. 51.6(L).
