Brush and bulk trash are collected using dedicated trucks that sweep each area of the city on a rotating schedule. Crews collect brush, bulk trash, and bagged yard waste  and leaves separately, as each material may require different equipment and disposal sites. Collection occurs Monday through Friday, with crews driving every street in the scheduled area to ensure all residents receive service. Residents are asked to keep brush, bulk trash, bagged yard waste, and leaves in separate piles at the curb by 7:00 a.m. on Monday of their collection week.
