Summary
Section 53.04(B) defines brush items in Parker as trees, tree limbs, plants, and leaves, distinct from the bulky items covered in the same section. Residents may place brush or bulky items within 10 feet of the roadbed before the Monday of the scheduled pickup week, and violations of the section's placement rules are punishable by a fine of up to $500 per offense.
Brush items include trees, tree limbs, plants, and/or leaves. ... Residents may place their bulky or brush items within 10 feet from the edge of the roadbed prior to Monday of the week such items are scheduled to be removed by the city solid waste service provider. ... Any person, firm or corporation violating any of the provisions or terms of § 53.04 upon conviction shall be punished by a fine not to exceed the sum of $500 for each offense; and each and every day such violation shall continue shall be deemed to constitute a separate offense.
Full Breakdown
04(A). Division (D), added by Ordinance 725 on March 17, 2015, gives residents an affirmative placement window: they may place their bulky or brush items within 10 feet from the edge of the roadbed before Monday of the week the city's solid waste service provider is scheduled to remove them. Read together with division (C)'s earlier cutoff, that means a resident who waits until Monday of pickup week can bring brush closer to the road, ten feet rather than the 25-foot minimum that applies to anything set out before the Thursday cutoff.
The section does not set a volume or bundle-size limit for brush in the text quoted here; it regulates only where and when brush or bulky material may sit at the curb. 99(E) by a fine of up to $500 for each offense, with every day a violation continues charged as a separate offense, the same penalty structure applied to the bulky-item timing rule in the same section.
Violations & Fines
Placing brush, trees, limbs, or leaves at the curb in violation of the timing in § 53.04(C) or outside the 10-foot allowance in § 53.04(D) is punishable under § 53.99(E) by a fine of up to $500 for each offense, and each day the violation continues is treated as a separate offense.
