Brush Collection

The Public Works Department provides brush collection services for City residents.

Guidelines

To ensure City workers can safely collect brush and other yard debris, follow these guidelines:

Place brush behind the curb or ditch along the street. Do not block the street or sidewalk.
Limbs should be no longer than 10 feet and no larger than 3 inches in diameter.
Do not place brush beneath a power line, under trees or in a place that prevents the safe operation of City equipment.
Do not place any grass and small trimmings, leaves or any other items in the brush pile example: trash, flower pots, metal poles, railroad ties etc.
Excessive loads, stumps, logs or dirt will/may be collected at the direction of the Director of Public Works. Special handling fees and all of burke county landfill disposal fees will be charged to the resident for this service.
Brush created by tree trimming services, logging operations or other tree cutting operations provided by private contractors must be collected and disposed of by the contractor and not placed at curbside for pick up by the City.

Brush collection will be on the same schedule as garbage collection.
