Branches and Bushes (without roots):

  • Branches 3' or less: May be placed at the curside, in open reuseable containers or tied in bundles to be picked up on your regular garbage day
  • Bushes (without roots) and Branches longer than 3': May be placed at curbside (all stems facing the same direction, not blocking the sidewalk or the street which would be a hazard) are for the "chipper" which picks up one neighborhood at a time starting at one end of town and working their way across repeating the process throughout the year. Please be patient, this method may take up to 3 weeks.
