Brush and Bulk Collection Guidelines

We provide monthly brush and bulk item collection to City residents who pay for residential collection services. This service is an enhancement to the weekly containerized collection of refuse and recycling. It is designed to provide an easy and convenient way for residents to dispose of items generated from their homes which are too large in size or too large in quantity to dispose of in their refuse container. To assure that we will be able to collect your items please be aware of the following tips and guidelines:

Please Do:

  • Have your items out for collection by 5:00 AM the Monday of the week your area is scheduled for brush collection.
  • Schedule your trimmings and clean up projects to coincide with the brush removal schedule, so we can remove your material from the curb or alley in a timely manner. Your neighbors will appreciate it!
  • If you have street refuse collection, place your items adjacent to the curb in front of your property. Be sure not to block the sidewalk with your collection items.
  • If you have alley refuse collection, place your items adjacent to your fence or property line so as not to block alley traffic or interfere with the collection of your alley refuse container.
  • Place your tree cuttings in a neat, bundled pile with all cut ends facing the same direction. (The length of any one cutting should not exceed 6 feet.)
  • Contain all small brush cuttings, grass clippings, leaves and palm skins in boxes or bags weighing less than 60 pounds, and keep them separate from your brush pile.
  • Remember that each homeowner is responsible for the manner in which their material is placed out for collection, whether or not they hire someone else to do the work.
  • For your safety and that of our collection crews, contain all cactus in covered boxes weighing 60 pounds or less each.
