Brush & Branch Collection

Service Options

Branches & Brush (Four Feet or Less in Length) - Weekly Trash Collection Day

Branches or brush four feet or less in length should be disposed of as yard waste on your regular trash collection day to be picked up by GFL. The material should be tied into bundles of fifty pounds or less and up to five bundles per week may be placed out for disposal. Branches or brush may also be cut up and disposed of in paper compost bags or trash cans marked with a yard waste sticker.

Yard waste in bundles, bags or cans is collected the last week of March through the second week of December. Please see the Yard Waste page for more details.

BRANCHES & BRUSH (Over Four Feet in Length) 

This service runs the first week of April through the first week of October. Branches and limbs longer than four feet in length, up to four inches in diameter should be stacked with all of the cut ends in one direction, facing the street. Stumps, logs, vines, or roots cannot be placed out for disposal.

April through Memorial Weekend
Our service for brush and branch disposal has resumed for the 2023 season early due to the sheer volume of damaged trees from the latest storms. Through Memorial Weekend, crews automatically circulate through each residential neighborhood approximately every fifteen working days.

Memorial Weekend Through the Beginning of October
On the Tuesday following Memorial Day and through the first Friday of October, service is on a request-only basis.
