Reminder: Brush Pick-Up Starts in Golden Valley

The following information was provided by the Ctiy Golden Valley website:

Pick Up Schedule

The City will be divided into three sections (see below), with a week designated for pick-up in each. Brush must be placed on the curb by 8 am Monday the week of pick-up. If there is a lot of brush, pick-up may take longer than a week.

Section 1— Area north of 55 and west of Douglas Drive—week of April 30

Section 2—Area north of Hwy 55 and east of Douglas Dr—week of May 7

Section 3—Area south of Hwy 55—week of May 14

Guidelines

Please observe the following guidelines when preparing your brush for pick-up:

• Tree limbs and brush must be four inches in diameter or less and approximately six feet long or less.

• Stack brush so the larger ends face the street (do NOT tie limbs together).

• 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.

• Do not use plastic bags.

• Place brush and limbs on the boulevard completely clear of sidewalks, mailboxes, streetlights and sign poles, landscaping and fences, overhead tree branches, and power lines.

• No leaves, grass clippings, stumps, soil, 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.

To dispose of brush or tree waste not collected in this pick-up, contact your garbage hauler or choose another contractor. The Spring Curbside Brush Pick-Up is a component of the Golden Valley recycling program.
