Brush Pickup Information

You must have brush out by 7 a.m. on your designated Monday. (We do not pick up on Mondays only, this is only the deadline to have it out.) We pick up Monday - Friday during your designated week. You are allowed to put brush out up to 1 week early.

For the convenience of Grand Prairie residents, the city operates a Brush Pickup Program. This once-per-month service provides curbside pickup of tree limbs and brush that are not bundled or bagged, no larger than 10 inches in diameter, no longer than 5 feet in length and the pile is no larger than a VW Beetle. This is for brush and tree limbs that are too large for the city's twice-weekly trash collection, which must be bundled, weigh less than 50 pounds and be no more than 6' long.   

This service is for residents who trim their own brush and limbs.  For residents who hire a contractor or tree service, the vendor must haul away what they trim.

The City of Grand Prairie does not provide brush pickup services to private gated communities or private mobile home communities.

  • No appointments will be taken.
  • No out-of-cycle pickups are allowed.
  • Only 1 pickup is allowed per residential address.
  • The “FULL WEEK” schedule is defined by a normal work week consisting of Monday – Friday.
