Brush collection rules
Think of brush as branches and sticks. It's the woody material you cut from trees, shrubs, and bushes. We take your brush and make wood mulch out of it.
Brush must measure between 18 inches and 8 feet so crews can collect it safely.
Pile brush on the terrace, or the grass at the edge of the street. Stack brush with the cut ends facing the same direction.
Keep brush at least 4 feet away from trees, cars, utility poles, mailboxes, fire hydrants, and other obstructions.
Do not put brush in the street or on the sidewalk.
