2008 Press Release: 2008 Branch Collection
For immediate release
March 20, 2008
Public Works will be collecting branches from Monday, April 7 to
Monday, September 15th.
During these months, residents will have 6 collections based on
zip codes.
Branches:
- must be on the parkway by 7:00 am on the first day of your zip
codes collection week.
- need to be loose, neatly stacked on the parkway with cut ends
pointing to the curb.
- must be 2 feet or longer, cleanly cut without attached roots.
- must be smaller than 6 inches in diameter (measured at the cut
end). Larger diameters will not be collected.
- should not be bundled or tied for Public Works collections.
- should not obstruct sidewalks or streets.
- will not be collected on City holidays.
- placed out after the last collection of each zip code will
need to follow requirements set by hauler for appropriate
collections. Please see requirements for appropriate disposal by
hauler.
There will be only one collection per scheduled week. Branches
may be collected on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday
of the week listed. Having branches out on the first day of your zip
code collection week ensures the Public Works Department, as well as
the resident, that branches will be collected appropriately. If
branches are placed out late, incorrectly, or cannot be reached,
collection will not occur until the next designated week.

biodegradable string) and dispose as yard waste for ARC Disposal.
-
Hire a private contractor to dispose of the
branches.
