How should I prepare brush and branches for collection?

Brush is defined as branches from trees and trimmings from bushes. Residents should place brush at the curb on the scheduled recycling collection day. Large pieces of brush, up to five feet in length, should be bundled and stacked parallel between the sidewalk and the curb, not in the street. Small pieces of brush must be contained in boxes or cans marked "BRUSH" and the address called in to ensure collection. Do not use plastic bags to contain the brush. Brush in excess of 1 cubic yard and/or longer than five feet will require a special pickup and will incur an additional charge.
