Brush is collected on the first Monday of each month beginning in April through the first week of
November. NOTE: this process usually takes the crew up to a week to complete. After
November if you have brush to dispose of please see the note below for Madison drop off site
information.
Plan your trimming around the scheduled pickup to eliminate having brush out for long periods
of time.
Once an area has been collected, the crews will not return to that area until the next scheduled
collection. Due to varying conditions specific collections days of the week cannot be projected
for any area.
Please be patient as collection may take up to a week and is done as quickly as possible.
Inclement weather, volume and mechanical problems may also create delays.
For further information, please call the Street Department at 873-6303.

Brush Collection
Brush (sticks and branches) is collected curbside mid-April through mid-November. During these months, collections
are scheduled for brush that is generated by City residents of 1-4 unit dwellings. Once a neighborhood has been
collected, the crews will not return to that area until the next scheduled collection. Due to varying conditions specific
collection days of the week cannot be projected for each neighborhood.
Collections will be conducted in the most expedient methods possible, but inclement weather and mechanical
problems may create delays.
