University Place Refuse To Offer Curb Pickup For Oversized Brush Oct. 31-Nov. 11

(This is from the City of University Place's website)

Oct. 31-Nov. 11

 and the City of University Place are teaming up once again for the Oversize Brush Curbside Pickup Event.

Oversize brush pickup is available to all residential customers of University Place Refuse Service, Inc., even those that are not signed up for yard waste service. The pickup day for your area will be the same as your curbside recycling or yard waste pickup day during the weeks shown above. Remember, this is a one day event for each neighborhood.

The oversized brush pickup targets the larger brush and limbs that don’t fit easily into a regular yard waste toter.

Yes – Oversized brush includes: branches, brush and limbs not larger than six feet in length or four inches in diameter. Stack loose for pickup (no bags or bundles.)

No – Oversized brush does not include: blackberry, holly or other vegetation with thorns, stumps, or limbs larger than six feet in length or four inches in diameter, small loose items such as grass, leaves, weeds bark, pine or fire needles, etc.

If you are signed up for yard waste service, please make maximum use of your yard waste toter first before placing brush in a pile. Place your oversized brush in a loose pile at the curb (or within five feet of the driv- able portion of the roadway) for pickup. Make sure that the pile isn’t in the street and doesn’t block access to mailboxes or fire hydrants.

Pile limitations: one per household no larger than 6-feet-wide by 6-feet-long by 6-feet-high.
