AUBURN — The city is set to hold a one-time curbside brush collection event to help residents properly dispose of broken tree limbs, branches and brush.
City crews will begin the collection on Monday, April 29, so brush must be curbside no later than Sunday, April 28. The city will not collect brush placed curbside after that date.
Auburn’s curbside collection is for residential properties only and is strictly limited to tree waste and brush — no stumps, and no bags or piles of leaves. No household bulky waste will be collected.
All brush and limbs must be in neat piles, “butt-ends” toward the roadway. The piles must be easily reachable from the road, and because of the equipment that will be used to collect it, brush must not be placed near, under or beside power lines or poles.
Those who prefer not to wait for crews to arrive can use the brush pile on Gracelawn Road, near Auburn Public Works. Residents can also deliver brush directly to Jolly Gardener at 481 Spring Water Road in Poland, for free.
