BG residents have until April 8 to schedule first brush collection of the year

Brush ready for pick up

The window to schedule an April brush collection in Bowling Green will be open from April 1-8. 

Residents may go online to register their address for this month’s collection. Follow the brush collection link located on the home page of the city’s website (www.bgohio.org) to complete the form. Residents may also call 419-354-6227 to be added to the list of locations where crews will stop. 

Collection is scheduled to begin on April 15. Those who do not call in or go online to register by April 8 will not be included on the collection route. 

This is the first brush collection for the year. The next collection will be in May.

Brush should not be placed curbside any sooner than one week prior to pick up. Brush and limbs should not be more than 6 inches in diameter and 6 feet in length and placed loosely at the curb – not bundled. 

Do not place brush near poles, mailboxes, guide wires, or any other structures.  Stumps or brush mixed with leaves or other yard debris will not be collected. The city, at its discretion, will not collect entire trees placed in the right-of-way because of work by a contractor.

Brush should not be placed in cul-de-sac green space as it may block fire hydrants, or be unmanageable for city equipment to remove.

Pickup is by ward and not by normal refuse collection day. Residents are encouraged to visit the city’s website for more information and details.

Information about this program may be found on the Public Works Division web page or residents may call Public Works at 419-354-6227.
