Summary
Tree, shrub and brush trimmings in Farmersville must be bundled, not loose, to qualify for regular yard-waste pickup. Section 59-27(b) of the Code of Ordinances caps each bundle at four feet long, six inches in diameter and 50 pounds, and limits the total bundled material set out per home to two cubic yards.
(b)Bundles include tree, shrub, and brush trimmings securely tied together forming an easily handled package not exceeding four feet in length, six inches in diameter, or 50 lbs. in total weight. The total amount of bundled material set out for collection per home shall not exceed two cubic yards (six feet by three feet by three feet).
Full Breakdown
in total weight. The section caps the total amount of bundled material any single home can set out at two cubic yards, expressed in the code as a six-foot by three-foot by three-foot volume. Grass clippings and leaves are treated differently: Section 59-24(a)(2) allows them to be commingled directly with regular garbage or trash in the polycart rather than bundled separately, so only woody trimmings go through the bundling process. and totaling up to two cubic yards, is instead handled as bulky waste under Section 59-27(a) rather than as a bundle.
Section 59-30(b)(2) makes clear that brush collection service is not extended to residential customers located outside the Farmersville city limits, even if they receive other utility-based refuse service from the city. Collection of these bundles, like all curbside refuse and recycling, is handled by the city's franchised independent contractor under Section 59-21, and unauthorized interference with bundled brush left at the curb is barred by Section 59-31(b), which limits handling of any collection container or receptacle to the property's owner or occupant.
Violations & Fines
Setting out brush that exceeds the four-foot length, six-inch diameter or 50-pound bundle limit, or piling more than two cubic yards of bundled material at the curb, is a sanitation violation. Section 1-3(a)(1) puts public health and sanitation offenses, including vegetation and litter violations, in the enhanced penalty class carrying a fine of up to $2,000.00 per offense, with each day of noncompliance a separate offense under Section 1-4.
