From CITY OF BOWLING GREEN
The next brush collection in Bowling Green will begin on Monday, April 20. To ensure pickup, residents must place their brush on the curb by Monday, April 20, by 7 a.m. This is the first brush collection of 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 be placed loosely at the curb – not bundled. Brush mixed with leaves or other yard debris will not be collected. Limbs more than 6 inches in diameter and 6 feet in length as well as stumps will not be collected. People should not place brush near utility poles, mailboxes, guy wires, or any other structures. 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, and/or it is unmanageable for city equipment to remove.
People should note that 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.
