The window to schedule a September city brush collection will be open from Sept. 1 to 13. 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 Sept. 20. Those who do not call in or go online to register by Sept. 13 will not be included on the collection route.
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 should be placed loosely at the curb – not bundled. Stumps, 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, do not place brush in the cul-de-sac green space as it may block fire hydrants, or it may be unmanageable for city equipment to remove.
Pickup of brush is by ward and not by normal refuse collection day.
To be included on the collection route, residents must register their addresses prior to the Sept. 13 deadline.
