City of Perrysburg Spring Brush Collection Begins Monday April 12, 2010 

Homeowner's brush must be at the curb by 7:00 a.m. on Monday, April 12, 2010

PREPARE:

-This year the "out by date" is Monday, April 12th at 7:00 am.
-All brush must be placed at the curb, not in the alley.
-Pile brush with cut ends to the street. Do not tie into bundles--stack  loosely because brush is chipped curbside.
-Place small clippings and twigs in garbage cans so they can be dumped directly into the chipper.
-City crews will take branches, bushes, logs, stumps, firewood and Christmas trees.
-Crews will begin on the east side of the city this year and work their way west. Once crews have been down your street, they will NOT return. 
-A supervisor will check daily to make certain all brush piles were collected.

AVOID:
-Brush pick up is not a yard waste or large item collection. Please do not place anything but brush to the curb. Information on yard waste is available by clicking here or by calling Department of Public Service at 419-872-8020 Monday through Friday, 7:00 am to 3:30 pm.
-If other items such as ornamental grasses, weeds, sod or leaves are mixed with the bursh pile, everything will be left and the homeowner will be responsible for removal of all items.
-Metal, stones and other debris may damage equipment or injure workers.

WOOD CHIPS DELIVERED:
-Wood chips are availabe to city residents and delivery is free and available only within city limits. 
-The wood chips are rough. Many pieces are big and used mostly for fill-in areas. It is not "pretty" mulch to use as a finish to your landscape. 
-Loads are approximately 12 to 18 cubic yards. No partial loads are delivered. Contact the Department of Public Service at 419-872-8020 to be placed on the list for delivery.

WOOD MULCH:
-In a small area (outside of the locked gate at the City Compost Site near the Wastewater Treatment Plant at 1 West Boundary Street) wood mulch is stockpiled and made available at no charge to city residents throughout the year.
-This mulch has been double ground and is suitable for landscaping. 
-We do not load or deliver this double ground mulch.
