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 Oct. 21. To ensure pickup, residents must place their brush on the curb by that day at 7 a.m.
This is the fourth and final brush collection of the year. The next collection will be in April.
Brush should not be placed curbside any sooner than one week prior to pick up.
Brush and limbs should be 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. on Oct. 21.
