Brush refers to woody vegetation such as cut or broken branches, limbs, and twigs from trees and

shrubs, typically generated from storm damage or routine trimming.

• Placement: Place brush on the berm within 10 feet of the road or curb in a neat, orderly row. Do

not place materials in the road or on sidewalks. If your property is a corner lot, please place brush

on the secondary roadway, not the main thoroughfare for safety.

• Orientation: Position limbs with cut ends facing the street to allow for efficient chipping.

• Size Limits: Branches must be less than 5 inches in diameter.

• Preparation: Leave limbs as long as possible; only trim them as needed for safe handling.

• Scheduling: No appointment is required. Crews operate on a continuous route throughout the

Township.

• No Mixed Materials: Do not combine brush with grass clippings, noxious weeds, leaves, trash,

bamboo, or root balls.

• No Landscaping Debris: Items such as landscape timbers or fence boards are not accepted.

• No Vines or Thorny Materials: Vines, thorny bushes, grasses, or noxious weeds will not be

collected.

• No Contractor Debris: Brush generated by private contractors is not eligible for pickup.

• Prohibited Items: Fully intact trees, trash, metal, wire, concrete, grass clippings, noxious weeds,

leaves, trash, bamboo, root balls or other solid waste will not be collected.

• Height Limit: Piles must not exceed knee height.

• Small Pieces: Branches shorter than 12 inches should be placed in an open container.

• Volume Limit: Piles should be of a manageable size, allowing collection within approximately 20

minutes.
