As a reminder our area is 4 and Brush Pickup begins on Friday September 7.  

Well-meaning citizens placed these brush piles too far from the roadway for the knuckle boom truck to reach them.

To ensure that your brush will be picked up, don’t forget to follow these important Do's and Don'ts and other brush collection guidelines.

Metro Brush and Yard Waste Collection Guidelines

When setting out brush, leaves and grass clippings for collection, be sure to follow the guidelines below.

• Put brush out before the first day the trucks are scheduled to be in your Area
• Place your brush where your garbage is collected – at the curb if your trash is collected there or in the alley if you have alley trash collection.
• Leaves and grass clippings can be put out with your limbs and other brush in brown paper bags only. Plastic bags will not be accepted.
• Do not stack brush against trees, fences, utility poles or other stationary objects.*
• Do not place brush, clippings and/or leaves in medians or where they can be washed into a storm sewer, catch basin or stream and clog up drainage systems.
• Do not include limbs more than 4 inches in diameter, longer than 15 feet, or stumps with root balls and dirt. Do not include bamboo over 8 feet long.

*Remember: The mechanical arm of the knuckle boom truck needs enough room to lift the brush pile up and into the trailer that is pulled behind the truck. Only the driver travels with each truck; no other crew members are there to move piles or separate items that don’t belong in a brush pile.

Please make plans to stop by our area's newest addition on Friday, September 14th.  Look forward to seeing everyone there.  I will be by during the evening hours!  Let's welcome them to District 29!
