Guidelines for brush collection are:                                                                                                    *Brush must be piled with cut ends of limbs in the same direction towards the street.            *Limbs must be cut to be able to be fed into the chipper.  Limbs larger than 4 inches in diameter will not be collected.                                                                                                            *Do not tie brush in bundles.                                                                                                            *Stumps, old firewood, construction material, thorn bushes, grasses, vines and plant waste will not be picked up.                                                                                                                           *Maintenance crews will not enter private property.                                                                     *Crews will spend no more than 20 minutes at one property.  If your pile is too large to be chipped in 20 minutes, please make other arrangements.                                                                *Do not pile brush in front of or block fire hydrants or storm drains.                                          *This collection is for trimming of bushes and trees, not for tree removal or site clearing.
