Final city brush collection for the year will begin on Oct. 21

Brush ready for pick up

Due to the popularity of the city’s brush pickup program, it is no longer necessary for Bowling Green residents to call and register for brush collections. The next brush collection will begin on Monday, Oct. 21. 

To ensure pickup, residents must place their brush on the curb by Monday, Oct. 21 by 7 a.m. This is the fourth and final brush collection of the year. The next collection will be in April 2025.

Brush should not be placed curbside any sooner than one week prior to pick up. 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. For cul-de-sacs, residents 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 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.
