Yard Waste Removal
Brush collection starts in April of each year and continues through November. Brush is only collected on Tuesdays. You also can call the Public Works Department at (920) 434-4060 to be added to the collection route. You must submit your request prior to 1:00 pm on Monday to get added to the Tuesday collection. Form to submit is on the main page of our website.
The largest diameter branch collected is 6 inches. The branches should be stacked neatly at the curb, parallel to the street, or they will not be collected. Brush must be placed to the curb by 6 a.m. on Tuesday morning. Tree stumps and root balls will not be collected during curbside brush pickup. Curbside collection of Christmas trees occurs during the first two weeks in January of each year.
