When and where will brush be picked up?

This is a year round program that services the City on a monthly ZONE rotation basis. Each ZONE is serviced during a designated WEEK every month. Zones were created according to geographical areas, and serviced rotating from north to south, week by week.

• Brush will be picked up only during your regularly scheduled once-per-month ZONE service week. Once your ZONE is serviced, the Brush Crew will not return to that ZONE until the following month's regularly scheduled service date.
• 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.
