● Branches may be set out no earlier than 8:00 a.m. on Saturday and no later than 8:00 a.m. on Tuesday. This eliminates branches lying out at the curb during the week.

● Place brush piles, no greater than 4 feet high, neatly at the curb with all the cut ends in the same direction, preferably with the ends facing away from the direction of traffic.

● This is for large branches and limbs over 4 feet in length. The main branch stem should have a minimum diameter of 1 inch and not be greater than 6 inches. (For the safety of employees, very small branches or sticks will not be collected.)
