⛈Spring thunderstorms are in full swing, bringing a substantial increase in requests for pickup of brush and limbs.
👀SeeClickFix is the fastest way to make a request and track its progress. 💻
🍃🌳The following guidelines will help ensure the quickest removal possible:
🌳Brush and limbs must be in front of the residence near the curb.
🍃Brush piles left in the alley will not be picked up.
🌳Brush and limbs must be neatly placed in a pile no larger than 8 feet long x 4 feet wide x 4 feet tall in the front of the house by the curb but not in the street.
🚗 Brush piles are required to be at least 4 or more feet away from any obstructions such as; buildings, fences, vehicles, mailboxes, trees/shrubbery, gas & water meters, fire hydrants, utility shut off valves, utility line markers, electric poles, guide wires, phone boxes, sign posts, and lawn decorations.
🚯 If the pile contains any trash, tires, lumber (treated or not treated), or anything other than natural brush and unprocessed wood, the person who filed the work order will be notified and the brush will not be removed till the material is removed by the property owner/representative.
🏠 Each property is allowed 1 pile per month. Brush placed on City property will be considered illegal dumping.
🍃🌳 The brush yard is available for citizen use every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 8 am to noon and may be open upon request for large volumes of non-commercial brush that originated in the City. To schedule a visit outside of normal hours, please call 620-714-0460.
