From CITY OF BOWLING GREEN
The next brush collection will begin on Monday, May 18. To ensure pickup, residents must place their brush on the curb by 7 a.m. on Monday, May 18. The next collection will be in September 2026.
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. Limbs more than six inches in diameter and six feet in length, as well as stumps, will not be collected. People should not place brush near utility poles, mailboxes, guy wires, or other structures. The city, at its discretion, will not collect entire tree(s) 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, and/or it is unmanageable for city equipment to remove.
It is encouraged to note that pick-up is by ward and not by normal refuse collection day. To be included on the collection route, residents must place their brush on the curb by 7 a.m. on Monday, May 18.
Residents can 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.
