In response to the heavy tree damage caused by Tuesday night’s storm, the City of Bowling Green’s September brush collection will begin on Tuesday, Sept. 3, instead of the previously announced date of Sept. 16.
To ensure pickup, residents must place their brush, whether related to the storm or not, on the curb by Tuesday, by 7 a.m. The scheduled October brush collection will remain the same. Registration is not necessary.
Brush and limbs should be placed loosely at the curb – not bundled. 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.
Residents on cul-de-sacs are asked to not place brush in the 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 may also take brush to the Wood County Landfill’s Yard Waste Disposal Area for a fee.
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.
