Brush Collection

Brush collection is provided every week starting on Mondays year-round (refer to holiday schedule for adjustments). Please call Public Works at 654-9208 or Town Hall at 687-3985 to schedule a pickup.

"Brush" consists of tree limbs and clippings from shrubs.  Limbs should be no longer than 6' and no bigger around than 6" (diameter). Trim smaller limbs from the main body of the limb, then neatly stack the brush on the curb. This will enable it to be safely fed through the chipper. (Please note that root balls and stumps are not accepted).

Discarded Christmas trees will also be picked up as a part of brush collection-just make sure all the lights and decorations have been removed as they are fed through the chipper. Again, call Public Works or Town Hall to schedule a pickup.

Brush collection does not include "commercial cuts", which are trees and limbs cut by a commercial trimmer. The removal of these cuts is part of the service you pay them for.  Brush does not include grass clippings, leaves, vines, weeds, etc.

Limits and Charges:
Brush piles no greater than 2 cubic yards (3'x3'x6') will be picked up each week at no charge, with a limit of 8 yards over a 2-month period.  Larger amounts can be picked up for a charge of $20.00 per 2 cubic yards.
