HAVE YOUR ITEMS FOR BRUSH AND BULKY

AT THE CURB BY 6 AM ON MONDAY!

There is no way of knowing the route the crew will take so you need to have your items at the curb by Aug. 19. Once they go down your street, the crew will not come back. Putting stuff curbside after they have picked up your street, will not get them to come back.  

Brush and Bulky uses a Bobcat to pick up items to put them in the truck, so make a single pile at the curb in an easily accessible spot. Brush and Bulky will NOT enter your property to pick up piles.  Be sure the pile is NOT near a fire hydrant, your mailbox, trees, power poles, your wall, gas meter, etc.  Items in the pile cannot be longer than 5 feet or they will not fit in the truck.
