Brush and Bulk Trash Collection

The city has organized its brush collection process into four distinct areas, each with its dedicated truck that will continuously operate within that area. This system ensures consistent coverage without rotating trucks between areas, providing a clear and predictable schedule for residents. To have your brush collected, simply place it by the street in front of your property. The truck dedicated to your area will pass through and pick it up. This collection system does not require you to schedule a pickup, making the process straightforward for residents. Make sure to follow any guidelines provided by the city regarding brush placement and acceptable items for collection.
