Brush should be loosely stacked with the cut ends toward the road. Piles will be limited to 3 feet high by 4 feet wide and 6 feet long. Branches more than 4 inches in diameter as well as logs, stumps, and root balls will not be collected. Each stop will be limited to 10 minutes. Homeowners are reminded that commercial landscapers are responsible for the removal of brush they generate.
