Leaf and brush pickup next week

It may still seem like winter, but the spring leaf and brush pickup is scheduled for next week.

The city will pick up properly-bundled brush next week on your regular trash day. You can put out 20 sacks or bundles of leaves and brush from residential curbsides during seasonal collections.

Here are the official guidelines from the city.

• Place items curbside by 7 a.m. on the scheduled collection date. 

• Limit 20 sacks and/or bundles per household.

• Sacks and bundles must not weigh more than 40 pounds each.

• Paper lawn and leaf sacks are required for leaves.

• If sacks are sealed, use masking tape only; do not use plastic or duct tape.

• Brush not in paper lawn and leaf sacks must be bundled 4’x2’.

• Branches must not exceed 3 inches in diameter.

• Use twine to secure sacks and bundles; no wire or duct tape is permitted.

• Grass clippings are prohibited.

• Do not place trash in leaf bags or brush bundles.

• If wet weather is forecast, cover sacks/bundles with clear plastic.

If sacks and bundles are not collected on the scheduled day, residents must call the 3-1-1 action Center within 24 hours.
