Purpose
Large limbs and tree trunks require additional labor and specialized equipment. The requirement to bundle brush keeps brush in manageable piles that are safe for crews to handle either with a pitchfork or with one hand. Minimizing worker labor through bundling reduces injury and allows for timely and cost effective collection. In addition, bundled brush limits the number of loose limbs clogging our storm drains during mild rainstorms.
Unbundled Brush Collection
Collection of unbundled brush requires a
special bulk collection and fee ($75 for 2 cubic yards of material). When scheduling a special collection that includes brush, keep brush piles 5 feet from other collection items.
