Due to the popularity of the program, it is no longer necessary for Bowling Green residents to call and register for brush collections.
The next brush collection will begin on Sept. 16. To ensure pickup, residents must place their brush on the curb by Sept. 16 by 7 a.m. This is the third brush collection of the year. The next collection will be in October 2024.
Brush should not be placed curbside any sooner than one week prior to pick up.
Brush and limbs should not be more than 6” diameter and 6’ in length and placed loosely at the curb – not bundled. Brush mixed with leaves or other yard debris will not be collected. The city, at its discretion, will not collect entire tree(s) placed in the right of way because of work by a contractor.
For cul-de-sacs, do not place brush in the cul-de-sac green space as it may block fire hydrants, and/or it is unmanageable for City equipment to remove.
Pickup is by ward and not by normal refuse collection day. To be included on the collection route, residents must place their brush on the curb by 7 a.m. Sept. 16.
Residents are encouraged to visit the city’s website for more information and details. Information about this program may be found on the Public Works Division web page https://www.bgohio.org/454/Brush-Collection or residents may call Public Works at 419-354-6227.
