Collection weeks begin with the first FULL WEEK of the month.  If the month begins with a partial week, the partial week is not counted. Refer to the Bulk/Brush Calendar for your scheduled week.
• Put brush/limbs on the curb in front of your home. Do not place on vacant lots or medians.
• Do not place brush/limbs in front of utility poles, traffic signs, utilities meters or hydrants.
• Do not mix your bulk items with brush/limbs.
• Do not allow your brush/limbs to block the sidewalk or protrude into the street.
