The fall program is scheduled to begin on April 16, 2012 and will be conducted over a 5 week period. Your pick up week will be determined by your regular trash collection schedule. Please have your brush out at the curb by Monday morning of your collection week.

  • If your trash day is Monday, your pick up week will be the week of April 16
  • If your trash day is Tuesday, your week will be the week of April 23
  • If your trash day is Wednesday your pick up week will be the week of April 30
  • If your trash day is Thursday, your pick up week will be the week of May 7
  • If your trash day is Friday, your pick up week will be the week of May 14

GUIDELINES

  • Piles must be placed curbside on the Sunday before your scheduled collection week as material placed curbside after the chipper crew has passed will not be picked up.
  • Brush containing nails, metal, stones or excessive dirt will not be picked up.
  • Vines and branches with thorns will not be picked up.
  • Limbs must be between 3 feet and 10 feet in length and between 1/2 inch and 8 inches in diameter. Shorter branches, twigs and clippings should be placed in yard waste bags and/or cans to be picked up by Rumpke on your regular waste collection day.
  • Brush and limbs must be placed at the edge of the road or along the curb with the “cut” ends of brush toward the street in small piles. Please do not create large stacks or interwoven piles with “cut” ends placed in different directions as this makes the material difficult for crews to separate for collection.
  • Brush piles that are tied into bundles or are tangled will not be picked up.
  • Stumps, root balls and logs are not to be placed curbside for brush collection but may be placed out for Rumpke waste collection on your regularly scheduled day. Each item must not weigh more than 60 pounds.

For additional information please contact City Hall, 891-2424. Dates for next fall’s collection program have not yet been determined, however that schedule will be announced in an upcoming Montgomery Bulletin.
