Only brush that is more than 3/4" in diameter at the cut end and more than 3' in length should be put out for brush pick-up. Anything smaller will plug the chipper and must be taken to the Compost Site or City Garage by the resident. Brush should be put at the curb, piled neatly, with the cut end facing the street. Residents should call the City Garage (563-7771) to leave their address before the Monday of their scheduled pick-up.
