Sanitation and Streets - Brush and Leaf Pick-up Schedule

Sanitation Collection

Pick up is on Tuesday and Friday of each week. Please leave your trash out by the curb in the green bin provided by the city. Please ensure the arrow on the trash can is pointing towards the street. If trash day falls on a holiday, pick up will be the following business day. For the safety of our city workers, we require all trash to be contained in bags. 

Brush and Leaf Pick-up

All yard waste consisting of limbs and branches having a diameter not greater than four (4) inches and a length not greater than four (4) feet shall be picked up by the Public Works Department. The waste hauler shall not be obligated to collect a branches or limbs having a diameter greater than four (4) inches or a length greater than four (4) feet. All yard waste consisting of grass cuttings and leaves shall be placed on the road edge, in a clear place. Please do not obstruct fire hydrants, stop signs, or culverts. Any yard waste not meeting these guideline will not be removed. The Public Works Department removes leaves with a vacuum and therefore asks that you keep them separate from brush.

Building materials resulting from construction, remodeling, repair or demolition operations, dead animals, hazardous waste or stable matter.

Leaves and brush are picked up on a regular basis. Public Works work through the city in zones. The zone currently being picked-up is bolded below. Please check back each Monday for updates.
