It's that time again - brush collection for woody material like sticks, trimmings, or branches from trees and shrubs. Public Works will provide every other week collection of small amounts of resident-generated brush, up to one (1) cubic yard, on the scheduled recycling pick-up day between June 2 and Oct. 3. No brush collection will be made during the holiday weeks of June 30 and Sept. 1, 2025. Follow these simple steps for collection:
Cut brush into lengths of five feet or less
Place the pile parallel between the sidewalk and curb
Put smaller pieces of loose brush in a box or can marked "brush"
Do not put brush in bags
Do not mix brush with yard waste (leaves, weeds, flowers, etc)
If you have more than one cubic yard, call the Sanitation and Street Division Monday through Friday at 414-302-8800 to arrange pick-up. Fees will apply. Cash and electronic payments (credit/debit) are accepted at our DPW drop-off site at 6300 W. McGeoch Ave. Convenience fees apply.
