Reminder: Brush Pick-Up Starts April 29

Residents can leave brush at the curb for crews to gather.

The better weather means it’s time for Golden Valley’s annual spring brush pick-up.

There will be a three-week curbside brush pick-up starting April 29. Crews will collect brush on the following schedule:

  • Area north of Hwy 55/east of Douglas Drive: Week of April 29
  • Area south of 55: Week of May 6
  • Area north of 55/west of Douglas Drive: May 13

Residents must follow these city guidelines:

  • Tree limbs and brush must be less than four inches in diameter and approximately six feet long. Stack so the larger ends face the street (limbs do not have to be tied). Do not use plastic bags.
  • Condense brush to one pile per household. Trucks will stop only once at each property, so if there is more than one pile, only one will be picked up.
  • Keep brush and limbs completely clear of sidewalks, mailboxes, street lights and sign poles, landscaping and fences, overhead tree branches, and power lines. If piles don't fit between the curb and sidewalk, place them on the boulevard behind the sidewalk. The contractor uses trucks with automated loading arms to pick up the brush piles. If your brush is stacked near a restricted area or tossed in a pile rather than stacked, it will be left behind. The contractor will not load brush by hand.
  • No leaves, grass clippings, stumps, roots, limbs exceeding the size limits, building lumber, landscape timbers, or bags of garbage will be picked up. If any of these items are mixed in the brush stacks, the entire stack will be left behind. The contractor will not sort through brush stacks for acceptable material.
