Last Chance: Brush Pickup This Week

OK, so this one is a bit of a first and last chance kind of deal.

Once a year, the city picks up brush from residents’ yards—at no cost to residents—and chips it to use as mulch around town. This year, that pick-up begins on Monday and ends on Friday.

According to the Service Department’s website, residents who want to take part need to put the brush on their tree lawn without using rope or twine. Residents also need to make sure there are no roots or soil attached to the brush. For more details, check the department’s site.
