From CITY OF BOWLING GREEN
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. 20. To ensure pickup, residents must place their brush on the curb by Oct. 20 by 7 a.m. This is the fourth and final brush collection of the year. The next collection will be in April 2026.
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. Residents 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.
Cul-de-sac residents should 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.
Residents 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.
